ABOUT THE ARTIST

Lon Brauer

Lon Brauer is an American artist known for his work in figure and plein air landscape. Born in 1955 and coming of age in the1970s, he has roots in the abstract expressionist movement. He has a BFA from Washington University and an MFA from Fontbonne University, both in St. Louis MO. His work is a mix of the abstract and representational, bringing an impressionistic use of paint and materials to create images that challenge the viewer with new perspectives on the landscape genre.

Lon’s background comes from 30 years as a studio photographer and photo illustrator specializing in images for advertising and design. He has signature membership with OPA, AIS, PSA, and ASMA. Lon presents numerous workshops on painting techniques and alternative art methods. He currently owns and operates Lon Brauer Studios in Granite City, Illinois.
