Biography
Jason P. Millward
American Fork, Utah
Born and raised in Utah, Jason P. Millward began an early love for sculpting and appreciation for the arts, especially traditional styles of European academia. In the early nineties he had an opportunity to spend time living in France surrounded by magnificent works of art and public sculpture where he gained a stronger desire to master classical art. After a decade of sculpting public and private commissions, such as the 2002 Winter Olympics, Jason’s quest for traditional knowledge culminated in a return trip to France where he had the unique opportunity to study under master sculptor, Martine Vaugel. Feeling that his informal training had come to a resting point, he turned his focus to formal academic studies through college to broaden his artistic horizons and earned a BFA in sculpting through Utah Valley University. Here he obtained an adjunct professorship teaching 3-D art and solidified his desire to teach full-time. He has had the opportunity to teach 3-D Art, Sculpture, Human Anatomy For Artists, and Stone Carving at Utah Valley University and utilize his Master's degree from Utah State University in stone carving. Alongside teaching, he is pursuing his art career with galleries and art shows with his wife and two children.
