Jason Seaton
Life is a Highway
Jason is a lifelong Kansas City native. He began photography as an amateur some 15 years ago. As his love for photography grew, he began working studying and working with some of the best photographers in Kansas City to improve his craft. Jason became an professional photographer over 5 years ago. And he hasn’t looked back since!
Jason is highly trained and enjoys all types of photography. He appreciates the various challenges within all the photography mediums. Over the last few years, his work has gravitated more towards landscape photography. His passion for travel and appreciation of nature shows through in his works.
In a recent interview with Jason he went on to say, “what I love the most about landscape photography is the process. Most folks have no idea the amount of preparation that goes into each one of my trips. I spend countless hours planning and preparing for the trip to come. Often times, the hiking requires me to be in excellent physical condition. I’m always at peace when I’m out in nature and taking in the breathtaking scenery. I have always said that Mother Nature is amazing. When I come back from a trip if I can produce 1-2 images that do her beauty justice, I had a very successful trip.”
These are a few images from Jason’s most recent collection, Life is a Highway.
For three years, I have been an "Artist in Residence" at some of the loveliest water gardens in the Kansas City area. Each summer there are different area of the city spotlighted.
The paintings in this Exhibition are my paintings as a result of photos taken at these water gardens. For those who have never been to those tours, I suggest you do go and look at all the work thathas gone into making them beautiful.

Weaving with Ribbons
Hands-on workshop with Sandy Cahill
There are so many beautiful ribbons, cords, braids, trims and chunky yarns out there … why not weave them into a unique “fabric?” In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the simple over and under of basic weaving using beautiful ribbons, trims, and yarns to
create a smallish piece of fabric. It’s all held together by ironing the ribbons to a backing fabric using Stitch Witchery. This is a fun way to use up pieces of ribbon while making something useful.
