Hi, I’m Jon!

Art has been my guiding star throughout my life.

My journey into the arts has been anything but linear, starting with an early passion for music, transitioning through a 5 year career in photography, and finally finding my true calling in sketching and painting back in 2020.

In my work, I explore lifelike portraits that capture the soul’s essence, as well as the more enigmatic realms of surrealism, where I dive into dreams and the inner tumult of existence. Through both charcoal and graphite sketches and my adventures with acrylic and oil paints, I seek to create art that speaks not only to the eyes but to the heart.

Sketching allows me to capture those subtle moments and emotions that often pass unnoticed, while painting is my gateway to expressing the unspoken, inviting viewers to ponder the mysteries of life and self.

Beyond the canvas and sketch pad, my world is wonderfully grounded by my family. My wife and our two daughters are my joy and inspiration. Whether we’re hiking through serene landscapes, sharing stories around a campfire, or cooking up a storm at home, these moments are where I find the balance and inspiration for my next piece of art.

Art for me is a dialogue with the world, a journey of continuous exploration and expression. I’m stoked to share this journey with you, offering glimpses into both the seen and unseen, and hopefully, resonating with your own experiences and reflections.
