Jonathan’s day job is as collections curator at the HFMA, but in his REAL life he’s an artist. We did a studio visit to see the rest of the oregano series (one currently on view in the Mayor’s Invitational) and see the new work, both two and three dimensional.

He’s well into the series now, with no end in sight?? And here are some of the images:

Watch for him.
