Jason A. Saunders is a graduate of David Lipscomb
University, in Nashville, Tennessee.
There he began his painting career under the tutelage
of accomplished painter Dawn E. Whitelaw.
During and after college, with the encouragement
of Mrs. Whitelaw, Jason was fortunate to be accepted
to study with world renowned painter, Everett Raymond
Kinstler. There, Jason began to grasp the importance
of his journey ahead. After a short bout with portraiture,
Jason escaped, and began to pursue landscape and
still life painting. There he found a place where
he felt he could best grow his talent.
In 1997, Jason, began to persistently pursue plein
air painting. He studied briefly with Arizona artist
Matt Smith, who gave him great instruction and encouragement.
Knowing the next step in his growth as a painter was to work, Jason began to
paint.
As a few years passed, Jason decided to search
out new information. He stumbled upon an artist
that had captured his attention several times before,
Scott Christensen.
In 2001, Jason, attended Scott’s class and a whole new understanding
of painting began to unfold. A great friendship was established and the bar
was
raised. Jason enjoys the constant challenges painting brings him. With the
encouragement of his mentors, collectors, and his family, Jason, is excited
about his journey. |
