Introduction
Jason Heckenworth is an artist who freaks out on subjects across various fields in painting and sculpture installation.
Jason Hackenwerth is a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of painting sculpture and installation. His loose and spontaneous paintings begin in response to social, political and personal issues. The dynamic scenarios that unfold on the painting surfaces are the artist’s way of working through his own emotions related to the bombardment of media and life drama. Each painting offers both the struggle and resolution. His work has been exhibited in galleries, and museums around the world.
Jason received his MFA in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design and his Bachelor of Fine Art in printmaking from Webster University.
