Jon Wassom, a versatile contemporary artist born in 1984, seamlessly blends abstract realism into his artwork, with movement and music as the central themes. Often described as a "Renaissance Man," his diverse background spans from musical instruments and athletics like gymnastics and figure skating, to his true passion: painting. Discovering his love for art at 16, he achieved notable acclaim, including consecutive Master’s awards from the Springville, Utah Museum of Art. His education at Utah State University, coupled with mentorship from Yale graduate Woody Shepherd, shaped his expertise. With a career taking him from Washington D.C. and Baltimore to his current base in Salt Lake City, UT, Wassom's works reflect his rich history of athleticism and artistic vision, winning him accolades like the "Artist on the Rise" title from The Artist’s Magazine. A blend of movement, depth, and vibrant energy, his paintings are a testament to his journey, influenced by renowned artists from Rembrandt to Van Gogh.
