Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on May 16, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Jon! Another year of stitching together brilliance—whether it's your vibrant paintings, captivating sculptures, or those iconic sewn masterpieces. Your creativity continues to inspire us all.

From curating unforgettable exhibitions to championing artists through Alabama Art Monthly (we still miss it!), you've woven a legacy that's as colorful and timeless as your art itself. May this birthday bring you laughter brighter than your palette and joy deeper than any sculpture could capture. Here's hoping the coming year is filled with even more success—and perhaps fewer needle pricks!

Cheers to you today and always—you truly are a masterpiece!
