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 emigrated 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.     Producing hundreds of sketches a year Jon only uses the ideas he feels 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. His first album entitled New Horizons is a collection of music that has been inspired by the imagery Jon creates. Jons art work is now brought to life with the sound of music.     Jon Rattenbury currently resides in Folsom, California with his wife and two children. Jons weekends are filled with family time. You will often find Jon playing in a neighborhood game of roller hockey, swimming with his children or taking a bike ride in the hills around their home.         His artwork has been exhibited across the country in numerous art galleries and art exhibitions such as Art Expo. He has been exhibited in Europe and has also enjoyed numerous successful art shows in Japan.
