Jon was born in 1964, near the end of the Baby Boomer Generation, as the first son of middle class yuppies from Birmingham, Alabama.

​

Well educated parents and military brat beginnings, Jon lived in 13 states before he was 13 (a typical JD'ism, meaning an appropriate exaggeration).

​

Jon was an introvert who had no idea that he was an introvert, as he was a cocky know it all who charmed the pants off everyone, but didn't really trust that he would be around long enough to be caught at his fibs.

​

Jon loved movies, storytelling, and theater with a passion, but never really believed in the value of his own truths. This was the result of his lack of role models as a gay youth in the 70's.

​

Now thirty years later, JD (his new iteration) is making up for lost time by trying to get his truths into every piece of art that he creates.

​

As a WRITER, J. Davis Meadows creates stories about miscommunication and self deception.

​

As an ARTIST, JD Harvill paints and draws stories of polyamory and self deception.

​

As a PHOTOGRAPHER, JD captures the truth about people when their backs are turned, or at least they aren't posing.

​

As a FILM MAKER, J. Davis Harvill, as a cinematographer and editor, helps tells collaborative stories about people who don't collaborate well.
