The multi-medium artist J.O. Jerusalem has quickly become a household name to those seeking to collect upscale modern art with authenticity and a charitable nature on the East Coast. Located primarily in New York City, J.O. operates out of a studio space on the Upper West Side and has all of his pieces custom framed in Long island by the renowned & family-operated Mavruk Gallery.

You might be wondering how this artist rose to fruition; just like many of history’s famous artists, J.O. had a rough start to life. Raised by a single mother and early on becoming a single father, responsibility and hustle became second nature to J.O. With his back often against the wall - trying to do best by those around him, he one day discovered a hidden talent that kept his mind at ease amidst the chaos that constantly ensued: Art.

He doesn’t stop there though - one of the highlights of becoming a collector and purchasing pieces from J.O. is that he does an immense amount of charity work. From auctioning off pieces in their entirety for charitable causes such as Gracies to going into inner city schools where no art programs exist due to lack of funding to provide materials, teach painting, and share his inspiring story to kids who might have a hard pass at life like he did.

Some of the most notable aspects of J.O. are most certainly his extroverted demeanor and passion for creation from start to finish to sale. If local, he will even come make sure that your pieces are properly hung in your home. That is just the level of quality and care he provides.

Hoping to be an inspiration to many young kids, the legacy of J.O. is alive and thriving. His goal is to continue to become a household name and display a path of ingenuity as he leads by example.
