and peers were vital to his growth. There were the occasional school awards and ac- colades that went along with being the class artist. But, the most signi cant part of Jason’s journey began in college. In 1991, Jason began his studies at David Lipscomb Uni- versity, in Nashville, Tennessee. Through the late 1990’s, Jason traveled to study with acclaimed landscape artist, Scott L. Chris- tensen, in Wyoming. There, Jason began to hone his skills as a landscape painter. Since then, Jason has painted thousands of plein air paintings from California to Maine, but he loves the landscape of Tennessee.
