Jon Kodwyck
Jon Kodwyck, well known Newburyport artist and ardent sport fisherman, June 19, 1917 - October 22, 2006, was one of six children of Russian immigrants who had to flee their beloved native country. His unique and sometimes haunting expressionistic heads are easily recognized and highly collectible. His works grace the homes of collectors, politicians, and art lovers throughout the country. He and his wife, Helen, were the first to start an open art gallery on the North Shore, in Newburyport, in the late 1960's.

The artwork on this web site is representative of some of the work that he did. A retrospective of his work was held at the Newburyport Art Association in Newburyport, Massachusetts, March 22, 2007 - March 28, 2007. Patrons and collectors desiring a private viewing of any of his work can contact the family through this web site.

She is a multi media artist currently concentrating on oils. Leslie is also a highly accomplished artisan. She is by far the most creative person I have ever known.
