Arena Red Porsche 993

A matchbox model of a Porsche 930 Turbo ignited Jon's passion for cars. The Bond cars, KITT in Knight Rider, the white Testarossa in Miami Vice - they kept it bubbling along.  And then the obsession with classics was kicked off with a rusty Lancia Fulvia bought off ebay...but the least said about that the better!   A succession of classics have followed, and a deepening love of their history and design led Jon to pursue a career as a full time automotive artist.

After a 25 year professional career, Jon decided to pursue his passion for art and all things automotive by taking up the brushes and painting cars full time, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, a successful professional portrait painter.

Focussing on Porsche, but with a love of many classics, including Alfa Romeo and Lancia, Jon works on a large scale (1m x 1m and larger) in acrylic on canvas, always seeking those evocative and interesting angles and moments, to emphasise particular design features and create art that is visually impactful and true to the subject.
