Jon holds an M.F.A. in Painting from Pratt Institute and an M.F.A. in graphic design in 1994 from Boston University with a focus on digital imaging and animation. The integration of media, which is the hallmark of his work, has allowed him to synthesize the disciplines of painting, graphic design, music and motion graphics. As an educator, Jon encourages experimentation with media, exploration of concepts and sensitivity to aesthetics. As a practicing artist and professional graphic designer, his multi-disciplinary work has been exhibited nationwide.
