About the artist:
Jonathan grew up exploring the foothills and valleys of Upstate New York, between the Catskills and Adirondacks. History in the Northeast is as rich as the soil of the valley where he still lives. It wound itself into his childhood fantasies and drawings. He became captivated by historical illustrations from textbooks and magazines, and continued to draw, acquiring a keen interest for narrative art and the human figure in action. Even as a child, he was taught that “whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God”.

Supported in his love for art by his family, he continued to learn– studying the works of great artists from the past to the present. He completed both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Commercial Art from college in Pensacola, Florida. He credits his instructors with cultivating technical excellence using traditional and time-tested methods, while promoting creativity and an analytical approach to art. In addition to his formal education, Jonathan enjoys studying the works of the Impressionist Masters, American illustrators, and contemporary artists. Jonathan worked for a time as a commercial illustrator for a publisher of children’s educational material. He has had gallery representation in Colorado, Pennsylvania and New York, and regularly participates in national and regional exhibitions and competitions.
