Jason Litts, artist

An autodidactic artist who has been painting in oils for over 25 years. Autodidact is just another way of saying that I didn’t go to Art School. Trial and error have guided my development in the studio. Mistakes can be opportunities for learning. I have been fortunate to have many of such opportunities.

My intention in painting with oils is to create a visually striking piece that is composed of layers of glazes to allow light to reflect and add depth to the surface of the canvas. My intention in completing a piece is to create a connection- to tap into common threads that lurk beneath the surface of our consciousness. Building upon a premise with layers of meaning and possible interpretation to add depth to appreciation.

Litts has had the privilege of showing work nationally at several venues.
