To paint what I see is to present life as a visual conversation. The world may be raucous, with talk and distractions, but to see something else behind this surface, and share it, is to find purpose. My paintings are for sale, commission and the pleasure of your engagement. - Jonathan Mann
Jonathan Mann is a practicing artist and has been an art educator for 40 years in higher education and grades K-12. His art is about painting specimens from our natural world for the purpose of reconstructing and reinvigorating our memory of them when they become lost in our daily lives.

Pam grew up in Baltimore County, MD. As a child, she was enchanted by the outdoors. To her, the woods behind her house held a mysterious, supernatural power. Pam found a way to get to know the natural world on a deeper level. She made her first landscape painting in oil in High School. Once she painted in oil, she was hooked. Painting was magical to her, although it did not come easily. She was more comfortable expressing her ideas through drawing and printmaking.

My artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues as they relate to the black experience. In my work, I deconstruct the American dream. Having engaged subjects as diverse as the civil rights movement, hip hop, jazz, sports and urban landscapes, my work reproduces familiar visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. Often times these themes are approached in a whimsical manner, and are often embellished with the implication of texture.

I was born and raised North of Detroit in a rural town surrounded by nature and a rich exposure to four seasons. Water was an abundant resource - I could walk in any direction and see a running brook, a river, a pond or a lake which all provided a playground for curiosity and pleasure.
