Jon believed that all art makes a statement, and dealt primarily with the environment and its ecology. He used common refuse - such as the automobile bumper - and reshaped it to represent our disappearing wildlife. He considered wildlife to be one of the most visible victims of industrial manufacturing.

​

His art included sculpture in bronze and steel, painting, printmaking and jewelry.

 

Jon’s work has exhibited throughout the west and is in collections across the country. He had a BA in Psychology and Sociology and a MFA in Painting & Sculpture. 

 

Born in 1940, he died in 2001.
