Robert Coleman Jackson (born October 17, 1964) is an American painter and author based in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

He was an assistant pastor for Cedar Ridge Community Church in the Washington DC suburbs from 1990 to 1996.

[2] A monograph about his work was published in 2012 by Philip Eliasoph: “The paintings ... are inescapably a bundle of contradictions, satirical complexities, and witty subterfuge.

His feisty independence is fortified with healthy dosages of non-conforming eccentricity, with a small touch of screwball nuttiness.”[3] His work has been shown in over 30 solo exhibitions and 100 group exhibitions in the United States and is in numerous private, corporate, and museum collections.
