Jonathon Ortiz-Smykla

Visual art, predecessors and contemporaries in Pop Art, Street Art and Abstract Study have influenced my gallery exhibitions and everyday experimentations. Live Music and psychedelic rock bands of the 60s, 70s and present have continuously sculpted my ideas for rock posters and event merchandise. Blending both visual and musical stimulation allows me to develop my own processes and creative form of expression. I often blend layers of texture, design, and personal expression to achieve a moment of feeling forever captured as a work of art.

I hold an MLA from Auburn University and am currently the Gallery and Events Manager at Center for Creative Education. I develop the artistic capacity and function of The Gallery while juggling the schedule of special events held by the CCE each year. With a 13 year career in the design field, I am dedicated to the Arts and the local Northwood community where the CCE resides. I hold a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from Auburn University and provide an extensive following for The Gallery at the Center for Creative Education.
