About Jon Whiddon

Jon Whiddon is a self-taught artist who always resisted attempts to define his art. “I like the process of painting; my art makes people feel good and makes me feel good.” In 1999 after moving to South Georgia to care for his father, Jon soon began to experiment with paintings of the South Georgia landscape, which surrounded him on his family’s farm. Taking in the big sky and lost horizons of pastures and roads, his paintings became enchanting expressions of vibrant lines and intense light. (from www.jonwhiddon.com)
