illustrations

Before becoming a children’s book author and illustrator, Jonathan was a gallery artist who exhibited his paintings all over the United States. His work has been featured on HGTV.com, in New American Paintings, and in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, among other publications. Known for his wry observational paintings using vintage toys, Jonathan’s work is in collections such as the Booth Western Museum and the Arthur Blank Family Foundation.

One of Jonathan’s favorite things to do is sketch with pencil and paper. In fact, all his book illustrations begin with a pencil sketch!

Jonathan holds a BFA in Sculpture from Clemson University.
