Jon Vogt received his MFA from the University of North Texas in 2015 in Denton, Texas where he studied printmaking and interdisciplinary arts. He received a BFA from Iowa State University in 2008 and a Professional Printer Certificate from the Tamarind Institute for Lithography in 2010. Vogt is a board member, curator, and the Chair of Exhibitions at ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art. He exhibits artwork locally, nationally, and digitally (Instagram: @holyunknown).

Through drawing, weaving, printmaking, video, sound, and installation, Vogt uses iterative pattern to generate cerebral objects and experiences that play with perception and formal beauty. To what extent do static images appear to move? When does repetitive action become exciting, relaxing, hypnotic or overbearing? What parallels exist between visual art and sound? How do analog and digital processes mimic one another?

Vogt also engages in issues of ecology and waste through an ongoing art project he developed while teaching Ideations and Methodologies, a foundations course about how artists think and live creatively. His ongoing daily practice involves collecting and documenting trash from a small section of creek that runs through his property. This activity can be followed on Instagram: @creektreats
