Elmhurst, IL. Resident Jason Watts’ work could only have evolved out of an intimate love and understanding of Americana. With a stylized realism, his work celebrates color and pattern with an emphasis on graphic composi- tions. His natural scenes integrate silhouettes and organic shapes, grounded in reality but allowing for new twists and turns. Working as a studio painter and designer, he has recently turned his attention to larger exterior mural commissions and art installations. His recent successes include a mural commission for Lincoln Square in Chicago, a new mural for the Des Plaines History Center, a community mural for a West Loop development, and a large 2 sided mural for the city of Suwanee, Georgia. In addition, he hasa background working with young artists on community mural projects and was resident artist at the Dupage Children’s museum in 2020.His large canvases that were a collaboration with families and young artists at “paint big” events are now part of the museum’s collection. His studio work is part of many private and corporate collections.
