About Jonathan
Hi, I'm Jonathan :) I have a fine art Painting and Drawing degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). During my student years I focused on narrative figurative art and naturalism from observation. MCAD's fine art department was highly technical and aesthetically focused. After graduation I stylistically transitioned to mid-century abstraction. I have 20+ years of experience in the arts.

Art is about sharing experience. Let’s take the mystery out of it: make it simple, accessible, and fun. I have a CAN DO! attitude with creation - it doesn’t matter if you can draw a straight line as long you work toward something you are proud of. I’m focused on building tutor/student relations so we can make the best work possible!
Tutoring is best for 13yrs+, thanks.
