Stargazers, Conrad Fischer School. 2024 by Jason Watts

Stargazers, Conrad Fischer School. 2024 by Jason Watts



Inaugurated in 2024 at Fischer Elementary School. Funded by Foundation 205 to Celebrate Diversity in our Community at Conrad Fischer Elementary School. 

 

The grant provided funding for a school mural project at Fischer Elementary highlighting the diversity and culture of the school’s dual language program students.

 

The artist thanks Foundation 205, Fischer PTA and students who voted on the design to make this project come to life.



Jason Watts’ art practice has evolved out of an intimate love and understanding of Americana. With a stylized realism, his work celebrates color and pattern with an emphasis on graphic compositions. His natural scenes integrate silhouettes and organic shapes, with the intent on creating fantasy landscapes grounded in reality but allowing for new twists and turns. Residing and working in Chicago as a studio painter and designer, he turned his attention to larger exterior mural commissions and art installations including a mural commission for Lincoln Square in Chicago, a new mural for the Des Plaines History Center, a community mural for a West Loop development, and a large 2 sided mural for the city of Suwanee, Georgia.  His studio paintings are part of many private and corporate collections.
