Jonathan Margetts

Biography

Self taught artist and have been painting since 1982. Working in either watercolours, pastel pencils and more recently acrylics. My artwork in pastel pencils was originally inspired and motivated by the wonderful art of Colin Bradley in the 1990s where I learned many skills in pastel pencils. I have worked on many commissions over the years covering pet portraits, aviation, ships, landscapes and some portraits too. More recent art projects include abstract art having focused in realism for many years. My working career has been involved in science research and then 30 years in technical management in food manufacturing, plus education support in our local technical college. I am now retired from full time working and enjoying more time to allow me to create more artwork which is my passion. I live in the World Heritage City of Bath, UK.
