Jon Rattenbury strives to create the perfect place. The dreams and visions he portrays in his work are beautiful. They are mysterious worlds filled with light and color. Cascading waterfalls, deep blue lakes, flowing rivers beneath soaring mountain ranges and skies filled with glorious cloud patterns fill his paintings. His images give the viewer a sense of serenity and peace.
Jon was born in England in 1966. His family immigrated to America where they settled in Northern California. He spent most of his childhood exploring the lush valleys, lakes and rivers of his beautiful surroundings along with his twin brother Tim. These beginnings inspired him to begin drawing and painting at a very young age. Throughout his school years Jon received numerous awards for his artwork.
Jon creates images to best portray his dreams and visions of the perfect place. He works primarily with acrylic paint on canvas to portray his thoughts. " I would like my collectors to see my works as celestial, serene places they could envision themselves escaping to", he says.
Using color, light and a specific approach to nature, he creates vistas that are exaggerated but the viewers overall feeling is of being brought into the artists personal rendering of a very particular world. Whether it is an icy cold scene with its towering mountains blanketed in snow. A vibrant autumn scene filled with its shades of red and gold. There is a feeling of being drawn into a place of wonder and everlasting beauty.
When Jon is not painting he enjoys writing music. He recently released a New Age music album entitled "Eternal Spirit" which can be heard on this site and is available for purchase at http://cdbaby.com/cd/rattenbury.
Jon Rattenbury currently resides in El Dorado Hills, California with his wife and two children. Jon enjoys spending time with his family and friends when he is not working in his studio.
His artwork has been exhibited across the country in numerous art galleries and exhibitions. His worked is licensed by various companies around the world for wall murals, mosaic tile, jigsaw puzzles, screen savers, Ipod Pins, cross stitch patterns and other items. He has been exhibited in Europe and he has also enjoyed numerous successful art shows in Japan where his popularity continues to grow. For more information on Rattenbury's work please email us.
