Jonathan Mann, a Maryland-based artist, employs oils and acrylics on canvas to create lifelike depictions of animals, flowers, and landscapes. His works possess a focus and intensity often associated with human portraiture. Mann explains, “After years of observing the volatility of humanity and culture, I find myself more enamored with the natural world because it has been forgotten in the 21st century.”
