Jonathan Keeton

Jonathan Keeton studied painting in London and theater in Paris; worked as a schoolteacher, waiter, and actor; and spent 30 years as a pioneer in digital visual effects for television, films, and commercials before returning to his first love―painting landscapes and nocturnes. He ventures deep into the wilderness to take photographs, often at night, and the artwork that he creates from these images is meant to honor the beauty of nature.

"I spent many years in the world of business, and know how essential it is to keep things afloat. While it is true that concerns about business don’t usually help while making art in the studio, business is simply the name given to the skills used in living and thriving in society … In today’s highly technologized and fast-paced environment, it is helpful to have [art] that reflect[s] the energy and harmony of our world.”
