PEMA Family Enterprises, LLC
A Gallery for Design. A Forum for Personal Expression.
Founded in 2026, PEMA Family Enterprises, LLC is a family-centered creative company built on the belief that art and design can spark conversations, convey ideas, challenge assumptions, and offer people meaningful ways to express themselves.
PEMA is a company whose roots trace back more than forty years to the life, work, and philosophy of visionary artist Pete Jackson.
It began not only with Pete’s paintings and drawings but also with decades of teaching, mentoring, creating, listening, and discovering what can happen when people, especially young people, are given the freedom and support to express what they see, think, and feel.
As an artist and educator, Pete worked with young people through visual, performance, and martial arts. Rather than viewing these disciplines as separate, he saw them as overlapping opportunities for young people to discover their abilities, build confidence, communicate their ideas, and find their voices. Young people could take an idea, an experience, a concern, or a message and turn it into a visual work.
“I learned very quickly that youth excelled when they had overlapping forums that support them in expressing their ideas.”
— Pete Jackson
From Visionary Art to Everyday Expression
Pete Jackson’s visionary and surrealist paintings explore layered ideas about humanity, society, family, spirituality, nature, identity, struggle, hope, and the possibility of a better world. They are visual stories, works intended to invite observation, interpretation, reflection, study, and conversation.
PEMA carries the power of visual communication into another form, taking complex ideas and distilling them into bold, accessible, eye-catching designs that can become part of everyday life.
Through humor, irony, subtle wordplay, social commentary, cultural observation, and inclusive ideas, PEMA creates designs that invite people to think, respond, laugh, question, connect, and express themselves.
People need places to express ideas and the freedom to bring diverse ideas to the conversation.
PEMA values thoughtful differences in perspective and believes that diverse opinions can be voiced respectfully. Art and design can create an opening for those conversations by allowing complex ideas to be seen, worn, shared, discussed, and interpreted.
The point of a forum for expression is that not everyone agrees.
A Gallery for Design. A Forum for Expression.
PEMA Family Enterprises, LLC began with an artist, a family, generations of ideas, and the belief that people thrive when they have meaningful ways to express themselves.
That belief continues.
Through visionary art, surrealist imagery, accessible design, personal expression, mentorship, family collaboration, and community, PEMA seeks to create something more than a collection of products.
A place for ideas.
A place for conversation.
A place for creativity.
A place for the next generation.
A gallery for design. A forum for expression.
