Ann Jon is a professional sculptor who has studied, created, exhibited and taught sculpture for more than 50 years, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, in America and in Europe.
She grew up in Denmark, and her work is inspired by that country’s medieval architecture, by ancient cultures worldwide, and by the topography and spirituality of mountains, canyons and deserts. Her sculptures are informed by studies and intuition. They range in scale from the intimate to the monumental, and use both traditional and experimental materials and techniques.
In 1998 she founded SculptureNow, a non-profit art and educational organization which pioneered exhibitions of large-scale, outdoor sculptures in the Berkshires, and offered sculpture programs for students in the public schools.
She curated and organized numerous public art exhibitions around the country and is committed to promoting sculpture in the public arena. In 2023 she retired from SculptureNow and returned to working full-time in her studio in a Berkshire hill town.
