portraits for patriots

far from his homeland of the sunshine coast, in the suburbs of washington dc jason swain is on a mission to paint the portraits of all the fallen aussie diggers from the afghanistan campaign. the portraits are gifts to the family of the soldiers and will be stretched and framed here in australia . our hope is to give some sort of lasting reminder of the fella’s who paid the ultimate price in the only way he knows how- through his paintbrush.

from his studio in suburban maryland, jason has featured in several articles on both tv and newspaers and has painted a wide array of subjects including two u.s presidents, crocodile hunter steve irwin as well as a variety of sport and entertainment stars.
