Muse features work by Otterbein's 2025-2026 Artist-in-Residence, Christopher Jackson. Jackson's oil paintings use bold line and abstraction to explore presentations of the figure, personal narrative, and coded allegory.

Christopher Jackson is a painter and arts professional who received his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree from Otterbein University in 2025. He was awarded an Otterbein-artist–in-Residence, a year-long creative residency to pursue his work as an oil painter in June 2025. Jackson served as a Collections Management Intern with The Frank Museum of Art, where he photo-documented and databased the Richard ’54 and Carolyn Brown ’53 Sherrick Collection of more than 600 creché and related scenes. Jackson also was an Education Intern with The Wexner Center for the Arts, where he also led gallery tours and worked with the Registrar.
