Jonathan, a Washington DC area expatriate, has painted professionally since 1972. As a self-taught painter, his work in watercolor, oil and acrylic has evolved over the years into what he considers a "relaxed realism" in both style and content. Although serious about painting, his various themes explore the humor in everyday life. So it is intentional, fortunately, that his paintings evoke responses such as "boisterous," "exuberant antics," "one sick puppy," "ornery," "bathroom art" and "existential absurdity." Jonathan's fun images reflect his feeling that "we all need to seek the joy in life, learn to laugh at ourselves and try to exceed our limitations." Since 1979, Jonathan has made his home in Morgan County with wife printmaker, Jan, and son Damian. The Heath Studio Gallery in Berkeley Springs opened in 1991, open weekends11-5pm. Their son, preferring the culinary arts, created Lot 12 Public House in Berkeley Springs with wife Betsy in 1999. Jonathan's work appears in many shops,restaurants,and galleries around the country. Jonathan will be not be doing his regular schedule of art festivals, but you are invited to visit him in Berkeley Springs for a full selection of all his paintings and prints and perhaps see him painting at his easel at the Heath Studio Gallery, 327 N. Washington St. 304-258-9840 The Heaths will be participating in the Berkeley Springs Studio Tour May 23-25 10am-5pm more info and map available at www.berkeleyspringsstudiotour.org
