Self Portrait by Jason Sacran

Jason Sacran Biography

In 2010, Arkansas painter Jason Sacran became a full-time painter and part-time instructor for University of Arkansas. For three years previously, he was the curator for the Fort Smith Art Center, and now he is the Arkansas state ambassador for the Portrait Society of America. Although known for his figurative and portrait work, Jason is quickly rising as a top plein air painter and states that plein air is his favorite subject. He says: “...my work is about the process of creating by painting subjects that evoke a mood or feeling introspectively. I am interested in documenting things of today, mostly with overlooked or even forgotten aspects of everyday life...I believe we all take the simple and familiar things for granted. Sometimes they are the very things we come to miss.” Jason holds a BFA in Painting from Tennessee Tech.

Sacran is a member of Oil Painters of America and the Portrait Society of America. His paintings have won awards in numerous Plein Air Painting events across the United States. 2015 was a banner year with a Best of Show award in the prestigous Easton, MD Plein Air; Best of Show in Easels of Frederick, MD; Best Nocturne in Paint Annapolis to name only a few.

“...I think Jason Sacran is one of those rare artists whose work seems thoroughly authentic. His character portraits are insightful and beautifully rendered with great feeing and empathy, and his plein-air landscapes are exhilarating examples of spontaneous response to nature. He is...a talent here to stay.”

-Budd Harris Bishop, Director Emeritus
