Jason Chase, Pop Artist

Jason Chase resides in Boston, MA. He focuses on images of Americana and Pop -- "I think it comes from being raised by a television" -- and paints any image that interests him, a thought, a subject. A lot of the times it's "something I see that I think most people take for granted".

Did You Go to Art School: Yes, I've a Masters degree from Boston University.

One Thing You Wish You'd Learned When You First Started: It's alright to be patient and take my time to finish a painting.
