Passionately Alive

During the River Arts District 2016 Fall Studio Stroll in Asheville, NC, Jonas painted a 24-foot abstract mural in his spontaneous style. The public was invited to watch the expressive artist at work and there was a full house at Jonas’ studio at Riverview Station. This new large scale mural, which is Jonas’ second to date, was successfully installed at the CarePartners Health Services therapy pool in January, 2017. Installation of this mural realizes Jonas’ vision; to bring the healing power of art into a space where people are working hard to improve their lives. Touched by his own experiences with pool therapy, Jonas felt inspired to improve the healing environment in the most effective way that he knows, by transforming a space with art.
