I’m Jon Stone. An Air Force veteran, visual storyteller, and landscape painter. After serving my country, I discovered that art could be more than just creative expression — it’s a powerful tool for healing, growth, and connection. That’s why I founded the Veteran Artist Network.

About Veterans Artist Network (VAN)

Veterans Artist Network is a community of veterans, military members, artists, innovators, mentors, and supporters of those who have served to find strength, skills, and community through the benefits of art and creative outlets. We share the unique experiences of veterans to build impactful projects that inspire, heal, and uplift others.

Whether you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or supporter, VAN provides the space and resources to connect, grow, and make a difference.
