Photo of the artist

Meet Jonas Perkins, portrait sculptor. This fine artist loved sculpting even as a child. He used to watch his mother work with various materials while growing up in Chicago and was fascinated by the results.

Jonas studied sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Institute Allende Art Academy of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. He moved to Texas in 1972 to live his "lifetime fascination with the early West". Although he uses many materials for his sculptures including wood, concrete, and marble, his passion is creating images and likenesses in bronze. He loves to create bronze portraits which reflect the essence of his subjects' character and spirit.

His sculptures range in size from the hand built home that he lives in nestled deep within the Texas hill country to pieces only inches in height.

Just a few examples of his many accomplishments are bronze busts of:
  • Henry Cisneros - Former U.S. HUD Secretary and former Mayor of San Antonio
  • Lt Colonel Oliver North
  • Doctor Martin Luther King
  • Marcus Garvey - Black Nationalist Leader
  • A series of Buffalo Soldiers
  • Several other noted figures
  • Many Texas residents
He is pictured here working on one of the seven foot clay models of Jose Antonio Navarro, one of the founders of the State of Texas. This statue was cast in bronze and placed at a prominent site in San Antonio, Texas.
