Jona Moon Dlamini Revell is a classically trained fine artist whose work explores the convergence of personal history, cultural memory, and timeless technique. Born in Arizona in the mid-1990s, she spent her early years traveling throughout the U.S. and abroad. The daughter of a South African freedom fighter and an American nomad, Jona’s richly varied upbringing profoundly shaped her worldview and creative Lens.

At the age of 13, she began classical training under the renowned Scottsdale artist Lu Bellamak, dedicating the next four years to intensive study in oil painting, composition, life drawing, and color theory. By her teens, her work had been exhibited and sold in galleries throughout the Scottsdale Arts District and acquired by collectors from Arizona to New York.
