Jon Strawbridge is an artist and illustrator based in Glendale, Wisconsin, whose work reflects a lifelong passion for creativity, nature, and thoughtful design. After an award-winning career spanning more than 30 years in commercial art and design, Jon turned his attention fully to fine art in 2020. Working primarily in watercolor, watercolor pencil, and colored pencil, he creates detailed, realistic works that celebrate the quiet beauty found in landscapes, wildlife, and everyday moments. His thoughtful use of composition and negative space allows each subject to take center stage, inviting viewers to pause and connect with the scene. Jon’s work has been featured in the Watercolor Wisconsin Exhibition at the Racine Art Museum and exhibited at the Cedarburg Art Museum, Cedarburg Cultural Center, and Museum of Wisconsin Art.
