| While in high school, Jonathan received state and local recognition for his painting. However, he followed other pursuits and dropped art for nearly 20 years most of which was spent living outside the United States.
Over the past two decades, Jonathan has visited nearly 40 countries. He and his family have lived in Turkey, Jordan, and Israel for more than 10 years. Additionally, he has spent significant time in Canada, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Though Jonathan wasn't painting, he took many thousands of photos on his travels. These and other experiences inform his art today.
Jonathan's first love in paint was watercolor, but, today, Jonathan works in both watercolor and oil (and is dreaming of linocut printmaking).
In university, Jonathan earned a BA in English Literature and an MA in Spiritual Formation. He and his wife, Corrie, have four wonderful children. Jonathan's other interests include travel, literature, hiking, scuba diving, finger-style guitar, Atlanta Braves baseball, and Ala |
