About Jason

I am a contemporary artist and designer deeply inspired by Street, Pop Art, Tattoos and western Aesthetics. I graduated University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Since Graduation I’ve gone into seasonal Wildfire work based in Central Idaho. By merging the expression and physical energy of these forms and constantly stripping away at typical convention, I attempt to enable a more honest and personal exchange between the work and the viewer. 

My aesthetic is inspired by artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Rauschenberg, Blu, Barry McGee and Roy Lichtenstein. I also continue to be inspired by emerging artists and the impacts of daily living.
