Jon Mulhern

Dean of Visual Arts & Director of RSAA at Ross School

Jon received his BFA and MAT/MFA in painting and education from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) then worked as a sculptor, painter, and professor in Baltimore and Manhattan. In 2011, Jon moved his studio to Bridgehampton, NY and joined Ross School as a Visual Arts teache, where he has developed new programs in figurative sculpture, woodworking, and metalworking. Jon is a self-proclaimed art addict, and his passion for working knows no limits. He has always had a drive and attraction to the arts, and as a child often tried to make art out of anything. Looking back, he loved Legos, model making, painting, Van Gogh, swimming, playing in the woods, working with his hands, James John Audubon, street art, and taking apart yard sale finds to figure out how they were assembled. Mulhern's most recent group show included works by Jackson Pollock and Ellen De Kooning. His work has also been exhibited at many galleries including the Peter Marcelle Project, Sara Nightingale Gallery, Art Southampton, Guild Hall, Southampton Art Center, and George Billis Gallery.
