MEMORIAL PARK 2025
Jonah Ballard


Jonah Ballard is a self-taught acrylic painter known for his signature pink palette and dreamlike style. His work explores transformation, inner awakening, and the quiet power of imagination, inviting viewers to interpret each piece in their own way.
Originally from Arizona, Ballard began painting at fifteen while helping his parents with their hand-painted sign business, The Painted Ladies—a name he continues to work under today. Now traveling the country full-time with his family, he brings his art to new audiences each weekend through juried art shows.
For Bayou City Art Festival – Houston, Ballard unveils a new work that reflects the spirit of the West and the layered energy of the city. Like much of his art, it offers a moment of quiet transformation—where the unfamiliar begins to feel familiar.
