Link Jackson was born in Montana to a backcountry guide and sportsman. He has roamed wild places throughout his life flyfishing, running rivers, backcountry skiing, backpacking and pursuing outdoor adventures.

The camera has always been his constant companion. He studied the arts in college and paid some of his college costs selling his paintings. His other business, Streamtech Boats, has provided a forum for applying artistic designs to the painting of boats, oars and various related accessories.

Running rivers, expeditions and traveling in the boat business offer the opportunity to collect thousands of images, some of which are references for Link's paintings.

His works have appeared in galleries, magazine spreads, private shows, on dozens of Streamtech boats, in books and on product advertising. His art is often used for conservation projects. His works have also won several awards.
