Jon Joanis (b. Montréal, 1969) spent his formative years learning drawing and painting under the Canadian painter and illustrator Leslie Coppold.
In 1988, after completing a Fine Arts and Design program near Montréal, Joanis had two works selected to represent Canada for a UNESCO exhibition in Paris.
Throughout his career, Joanis studied and performed music professionally as a jazz guitarist, eventually becoming a student of guitarist Mike Stern in New York City.
He continues to play and write music, while seriously reacquainting and reconfirming his relationship with drawing and painting. His work is held in prominent private collections throughout North America.
