Lon is an artist in his soul and through every cell of his being, so being creative is the same thing to him as breathing.

Lon's art career started when he was a kid. His first taste of success was at 6, winning a school district 1st grade art award for his rendition of Pinnochio. Many years later Lon graduated UCLA with a fine arts degree and a post graduate advertising/illustration degree from Art Center College of Design

In the ensuing years he worked as an Art Director, Creative Director and Illustrator where he helped launch many TV programs and Motion Pictures. Among them: Romancing the Stone, Cocoon and Power Rangers, which became a billion-dollar property. In the 2000s he worked as the head of the worldwide marketing art department for Warner Bros. that launched shows like “Ellen”, “Will & Grace”, “West Wing” and “Judge Judy”

In addition, Lon has illustrated and written children’s and “How-to” books including Globe Pequot Press’s successful book, “Treehouses” which he wrote, illustrated and photographed.

Over the past couple years Lon’s work has been shown in traditional galleries as well as online shows. His last solo exhibition was at Blue Moon Gallery in San Miguel De Allende from July to August 2022.
