Jon Sedor

​

---

Jon Sedor was born in Cleveland, Ohio in May 1988.  At age 13 he became involved with skateboarding, BMX, and Graffiti Culture which sparked a fascination within him for art. But it was not until high school that his love of art became a serious pursuit and career choice.  In May 2007, one week before high school graduation, Jon was in a serious accident undergoing two amputations and three surgeries leaving his dominant (left) hand amputated. Jon spent his summer before college learning how to live and paint with only his right hand. Jon continued his pursuit of art and functioning with one hand while earning his Bachelors Degree in Communication Design and Drawing from Skidmore College and his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Jon left NYC for Cleveland in 2015 where continued to paint and taught as a Teaching Artist at the Cleveland School of the Arts, before moving to St. Petersburg, FL in early 2018 until he returned to Cleveland in the Fall of 2019. Jon is currently a freelance graphic artist and handpoke tattoo artist who works out of his private studio Midtown/Asiatown in Cleveland, Ohio.
