Home		Previous Page

	Jonathan discovered his artistic talents at an early age. Throughout a period spanning more than fifty years he has developed and diversified his skills to cover many mediums including sculpture, poetry and composing music. His extensive travels have influenced his works, which range from landscapes to portraits and a broad range of animal studies. He based himself in Christchurch for many years where he became a well known personailty, exhibiting his works in an old mill under the name Jonathan Leah. He has now retired and returned to his native Lincolnshire where he continues to create works of art in rural surroundings. Some of his more unique works include Pyrography (wood burning or poker work) on a colossal scale, his ambition being to eventually produce life size images of some of the giants of Africa. Some of these works have taken as long as five months to complete and have never been offered for sale until now. Jonathan, influenced by the summer of 2005 haas most recently produced many studies of sunflowers and dahlias in acrylic oils.
