Lift exhibited Jon’s work as part of downtown Royal Oak’s Snap Judgement event and now he’s back with all new work on display. Join us this coming Friday for a meet and greet with Jon.

Jon is a graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit, where he received his BFA with honors, and a concentration in photography. He frequently utilizes non-traditional photographic techniques — including hand coloring, cyanotype and gum printing, combinations of words and images, and manipulated Polaroid sx-70’s — to create his images.
