Jonathan Wilde has been painting full-time since May 1970 when he finished four years at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a zoology major. His subject matter has consistently been the birds and landscapes of Southern Wisconsin, where his roots and passion lie. Wilde?s style is representational, which is how he finds he can reproduce his vision---that which inspires him. Over the years, Wilde has been shown in many of Wisconsin?s major galleries and juried shows. He presently is represented by Artisan Gallery in Paoli, WI, Broden Gallery in Madison, WI, and Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Fish Creek, WI.
