visual artist

“I am a wholehearted observer driven by curiosity.”

At the age of 19, Jonathan traveled to Nepal. He packed a camera (one with film no less) and somewhere between the stupas of Kathmandu and the hiking trails of Annapurna, Jonathan considered himself an artist. Some 20+ years later, he’s still enthralled with the wandering spirit of a lifelong creative.

Whether we’re talking about drawing, painting, photography or cinematography, I love how images have the power to spark memory, meaning, and emotion.

Art is a landscape built around the question,“I don’t know.” It is where ideas, emotions, and experiences can be explored, deconstructed, and some form of new knowledge produced.

Whether I am constructing or documenting performances, investigating the world through photo, or expressing emotion through 2D mediums, my work is rooted in the exploration of intuition, chance, and collaboration. While the imagery I choose to represent leans towards the surreal, it upholds a strong relationship to the real, the document, the always-already present.
