2006 Margie Jackson (1934-2021)  Running Free
Featured in this lot is this 2006 mixed media-on-canvas called "Running Free" from artist Margie Jackson (born 1934 and passed 2021). This piece of artwork shows three horses running in a pasture with mountains and hill in the distance. The artist’s signature is shown on the right-hand bottom of the piece with the date underneath it. Margie Jackson (1934-2021) was a painter for years before she became a sculptor. Her experience at casting her creations in bronze began around 1976. Jackson lived on a farm in Yelm, Washington, she but grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. Because the range was open and cattle left on their own, they would be prey to packs of wolves and coyotes. Horses were still respected as a means of transportation and the area was plentiful with Native Americans still richly steeped in their own culture, lending to the inspiration of her work. Among her numerous awards are Best of Show-Sculpture at the Celebration of Western Art Show in Olympia, Washington and First and Second places at the 1986 and 1987 Arizona Annual Art Shows. She was commissioned to create bronze and limited-edition prints celebrating the Washington State Centennial; the city of Yelm purchased one of these pieces for installation in the City Hall. The condition of this mixed media-on-canvas is good, with no obvious signs of damage to the artwork or the frame. The measurements of this framed artwork are 11 1/2" x 21 1/2 and the visible art measures 2 1/2" x 12 7/8". Provenance: This is from the personal artist Margie Jackson.
