Jonathan established his foundry and studio in Lower Hutt in 1992, following a Fine Arts diploma at Whitireia. Initially focused on casting his own work, the foundry soon expanded to serve a wider community of New Zealand sculptors. With a strong reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and unique, narrative driven concepts, Jonathan has exhibited extensively and garnered numerous awards and grants. His 30 year career in art casting has honed his skills, resulting in sculptures that are both visually striking and conceptually profound.
