Jason has been an art teacher at Little Rock Central High School for 19 years. He grew up in a family of firefighters who happened to be artists. His works are painterly and graphic – his obsession with the patterns created by light and shadow dominates his work. When he isn’t painting the fire escapes or power lines of buildings in downtown Little Rock, he looks at his family as his primary subject matter. Across this room is a pastel works that was done by Dennis McCann, Jason’s father. Dennis is retired after 45 years with the North Little Rock Fire Department. They share a studio and encourage each other’s artistic practice.
