Mike Quon is a prolific artist well-loved for his vibrant works on canvas and paper, utilizing ink, acrylic, watercolor, and collage in his signature freestyle form.
Inspired by a rich artistic heritage, Quon's influences include his father, Milton, a distinguished watercolorist and early animator for Walt Disney, as well as the iconic painters Richard Diebenkorn and Ed Ruscha, mentors during his formative years as an art student at UCLA.

His work is featured regularly in gallery shows near his studio in Red Bank, NJ and can be found in numerous private collections, including the Library of Congress, the New-York Historical Society, and The New York Times. A major retrospective of his work, The Art of a Designer, was on exhibit at Monmouth University in 2019. HIs next solo show will be at The Guild of Creative Arts in September 2024.
