Jon Clayton
Jon likes to go to places where he feels a connection to the landscape. He makes rapid sketches on large pieces of paper, using a mixture of art media which are later collaged at his studio to create new works that give a feel of the landscape. Some are framed as fresh, energetic work in their own right but for larger artworks, Jon uses the drawings and collages as inspiration. After graduating from Manchester University in the 1980s with an Arts degree, Jon has been an illustrator, a teacher and art specialist in education before becoming a full time artist
