DescriptionJohn Jaster was born in Columbus Ohio, graduated from Ohio State and then lived in the mountains of Southern California for 20 years. Although John learned to draw and paint as a young boy, his degrees are in the computer science field. It wasn't until 2010, when his wife bought him a large easel and encouraged him to start painting again, that he began to take his art career seriously. Since then he has displayed works in more than 90 juried exhibitions, and has seen his art published in several books and magazines. He is a Signature Member of the International Society of Acrylic Painters. Says the artist: “I call my style realistic impressions because, while the overall feel of my work is definitely realism, I like to offset the detail with impressionistic splashes of color. My inspiration comes from the hidden beauty in ordinary objects. Instead of smooth blending, I use puzzle pieces of color to emphasize the complex relationship of light and shadow over form.”
