A man of considerable humor and imagination, portrait artist Jason Mecier began his life puttering with beans, noodles, yarn and other inexpensive craft materials so invaluable for bizaars, scout troups, gifts and home decor. While his artwork may fool the eye, there’s no fooling about his artwork-no gimmicks…no trick shots…no studio touch ups. They are one of a kind hand-crafted mosaics created with painstaking care. Mr. Mecier has a deep love for people, art and collecting things; he wants to help others enjoy what he likes to do best. “I hope to one day trade art with Farrah Fawcett, Marilyn Manson, Jane Seymour and Yoko Ono”
