Jon Adkin

Guest Artist, Summer Exhibition 2008

Jon Adkin was born in 1962 and grew up in London but now lives in Suffolk. His interest in art started whilst at secondary school and his enthusiasm is as great as ever.

Early on he worked mainly in cartooning and illustrations, and had a weekly topical cartoon in a local paper. His cartoons could be seen in the national tabloids both here and abroad and his work has been published in books and national magazines.

Jon enjoys experimenting with different styles and techniques, and has a naturally creative mind. Inspirations for his art come from many different avenues, from stunning landscapes and rolling seas, to a moving piece of music. He loves playing around with colour in his work; from calming pastels to vivid sunset creations. Working mainly with acrylics and watercolours, Jon also enjoys using pastels as an alternative media.
