About me
As an artist, I capture the mystical energy that lies below the surface of the natural world.
To see the photographic images of Botanica Magnifica is to transcend the medium and see the subject itself. Just as the finest classical painter attempted to make his brush stroke invisible, Jonathan attempts to capture these botanical specimens with clarity and humility.
