Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Jon's home and studio are in Southeast CT. Jon was raised in a family of talented artists and musicians. Encouraged to develop his artistic skills at an early age, he was captivated by the works of John Singer Sargent and Norman Rockwell. Since then he has provided artwork for local theater productions, advertising campaigns, album covers, and private collectors.

Jon has explored many mediums, including acrylic, airbrush, watercolors, and oil paints. He continues to work at perfecting his work in oil paints focusing on capturing realistic likenesses in portrait painting. His artwork has been displayed at the Bold Brush Exhibit, Almenara Collection, Stonington Borough Art Walk 2023, The Slater Library, and The Slater Museum.
