Introduction to being a local artist in Somerset:
My name is Jason Venus, a local artist who has lived in Somerset all my life. My working life has largely revolved around creative services in Somerset. With my first work placement as a commercial photographer for a Yeovil based photography studio.
After several years honing my skills in photography, learning about lightening and composition, I went it alone and started my first art studios called Venus Studios.
I have been drawing and doodling since an early age, and always knew ai wanted a career in the creative industry. Venus Studios was a Yeovil based creative studio, continuing with my photography but also providing illustration and design services.
With the birth of the internet, I moved into Web design and digital art and was a co- founder of Sitemakers Ltd which remained my main focus for over 20 years.
Throughout this journey I was always feeding my creativity. I love working digitally and much prefer this now over traditional art. I love being able to undo mistakes and I love the speed of workflow.
