About the Artist
Jon Damaschke received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Northern Michigan University in 2006. Since then, his work has been showcased in Italy and museums & galleries in Wisconsin, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois. His work has also been published in magazines in the United States and Greece.
Jon’s art evolves concurrently with the digital art movement, while reflecting the artists and movements that have influenced him. Evident in his work is the Surrealism of Salvador Dali, the Romanticism and mythology of J.W. Waterhouse and the Impressionism of Claude Monet. Despite these influences, Jon brings a unique sublimity to his art through his intuitive use of line and color to suggest movement and convey emotion.
Currently, Jon is working as a freelance graphic artist and animator in Chicago, Illinois.
