This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Jon Blanchette (1908-1987) was born in Somerset, England on March 29, 1908.
He immigrated to Battle Creek, Michigan in 1918. Artistically inclined at age
six, he later studied at the Pittsburgh Art Institute. In 1932 he and his wife
Jean moved to Los Angeles where he painted, did architectural design, interior
decorating, and stage sets for Fox Studios. In 1948 he abandoned commercial
work and settled in Aptos, California where he painted fine art and taught
privately. During the summers of 1965-75 he held workshops in Mendocino. A
romantic realist, he was primarily an oil painter but was also proficient with
pen & ink, watercolor, and silk screen. Blanchette died in Aptos on July 3, 1987.
