My interest in photography began when I was a music columnist at the Washington Star newspaper. Writing a weekly music column for six years, I interviewed over 300 artists including Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, James Brown...a veritable Who's Who of the music world. There were times when there were no photographers available to accompany me on assignments...so I brought along my Nikon. Fifteen years ago, on a trip to New Mexico, I made the switch from film to digital photography.

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

~~Born and raised in New York City, Jay's early art creations were greatly influenced by comic book artists such as John Romita, Steve Ditko, and Jim Steranko. During the late 70's and early 80's, Jay tried unsuccessfully to join the artistic ranks of both Marvel and DC comics. By 1982, he had become discouraged with the comic book style art that he had been doing, and proceeded to drastically change his style of art. This was the year that he plunged headlong into Pen & Ink Pointillism.
