Jonathan Smith was born in 1958 in Aberdeen.  He went to school in Aberdeen and also on the Island of Lewis in the Hebrides. In 1976 he returned to Aberdeen to study painting at Grays School of Art where he won the Alexander Barker Prize in 1979.  From 1980 to 1987 he worked as a Musician and Technical Illustrator in London.  In 1988 he went to East Sussex where he worked as an Art Teacher until 1996 and since then he has worked as the Visual Arts Co-ordinator at Varndean College in Brighton. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy, and in Galleries in England and Scotland. His paintings develop from his time spent in the Outer Hebrides, from visits to Venice and Florence, or from drawings made in the corners of cornfields and scrapyards in the Sussex Weald. Working through variations on themes, trying to balance spontaneous gesture with the need for secure compositional structures, he distils his experiences, using layers of translucent and opaque colour and a range of expressive marks and gestures. Work by Jonathan Smith is in the collections of East Sussex County Council Arts and Museum Service; Seaford Head Community College, Seaford, East Sussex;  Fastrak Consulting, Brighton and in private collections in Britain and abroad.
