About The Artist:
Jon Edmondo grew up in Marin County, California, and spent his early days hiking and biking the roads and trails of the rolling California hills. Edmondo always had an interest in art and eventually graduated from college with a degree in graphic design from the University of the Pacific. Edmondo not only studied graphic design, but he also studied painting under the tutelage of Master Pastelist and painter Gil Dellinger. Jon now lives close to the Sierra Nevada, where he spends much of his time enjoying the outdoors with his wife and two daughters.
The creative process has always intrigued Edmondo, and he constantly strives to create strong compositions with bold color and interesting subject matter. Edmondo states, “I yearn to create images of places or things that create an emotional connection for the viewer – evoking special memories of places visited or past experiences”. Edmondo has been influenced by the French Impressionists and early California artists like William Wendt, Edgar Payne, Thomas Hill, and Albert Bierstadt. He is also influenced by many contemporary artists such as Matt Smith, Scott Christiansen, Jean LeGassick, Clyde Aspevig, and others. Edmondo enjoys viewing and studying other artists’ work to learn more about what makes a great painting!
Before Edmondo leaves this land of ours, he hopes to deliver work that is bold, fresh, and reflects his love of visual design and nature!
