I'm an art-maker and art teacher at the college level, have exhibited nationally, and hope for more.  I repay a bit of what I owe to my teachers by teaching others.My site is http://www.jonraderjarvis.com

For “image-makers” who value beauty in fine art, the quest is to recognize, capture, and if possible, enhance the visual experience so that it might be shared, by the viewer.  We are surrounded by a cacophony of mundane images.  I hope to capture moments of sublime beauty and truth, translate and filter them through my own experience & training to produce a taste of the sublime for a shared experience.  I hope to express and share a tiny part of the thrill I felt making the image.  When this works I am justified.

A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells.  But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this – that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality KARL MARX
