About the artist: Jonah Dees
“For this piece, I wanted to show the amazing color palette of the fall harvest and do it in an unpolished way. Throughout all my work, I like to incorporate a painterly/soft feeling. Our world can often feel rigid, so blurring the lines and environments through my art is therapeutic. I usually draw my inspiration from films, music, nature, and my own dreams. I think it’s important for artists and storytellers not to be limited by reality or outside factors.”

Dees, 18, was born and raised in Reno and recently graduated from Reno High School. He is passionate about art and has been drawing his whole life; his work primarily involves painting, drawing in pencil and charcoal, and digital art, which is how he produced the piece featured here. He is a multiple Scholastic Art Awards winner. Dees will attend Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles this fall to begin pursuing his studio arts degree.
