JIM JONSON is one of America`s finest Sports Artists, featured hundreds of shows and exhibitions all over the world as well as on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Ski, and TIME-Life Books.

Jonson's first assignments as an illustrator were for magazines and advertising agencies in California where an increasing amount of art directors were beginning to tire of the photographic realism responded to Jonson's more artistic approachJim Jonson's artistic objective is to create an accurate depection of the kinetics of a sports event. Since Jonson was an athlete himself, He has a personal connection and understanding of the physical feats preformed by top of the line athletes. One of the main themes that is consistant in Jonson's works is the phenomenon of motion. Aside from the phenomenon of motion, Jonson also aims to capture the specific point in the action which most dramatically displays the athlete extending himself almost beyond his limits.
