A NEW exhibition is underway in the Wharf’s art gallery, this time courtesy of artist Jonathan Minshull.

Born in 1964, Jonathan (pictured above) spent his childhood living on farms and he inherited his father’s love of rural life, engendering an enduring a love of animals, nature and the outdoor life.

He graduated with a degree in illustration from Brighton Art College in 1986 and then worked as a commercial illustrator with an agent in London on projects including book, video and editorial illustration.

In England, the expansive landscapes of Dartmoor always provide an inspiration to paint. Here, he tries to capture something of the unique quality of light in the changing skies and record the subtle colours of the moors and the qualities of the water and rocks that makes Dartmoor so unique.

Jonathan’s exhibition will run until April 27.
