Jonathan Ryan Storm is an artist work­ing out of Brat­tle­boro, Ver­mont. His love for Ver­mont and inter­est in gar­den­ing and plant life are impor­tant to the for­mu­la­tion of his work.

Jonathan has talked about how inspir­ing the state of Ver­mont is, and how it pro­vides an oppor­tu­nity to see the world clearly. The Wan­tas­ti­quet Moun­tain plays an impor­tant role in his life, and is the great overseer.

Jonathan’s work feels like a med­i­ta­tion. His recent works are com­po­si­tions that hold smaller pieces together. It’s the cen­ter­ing of dif­fer­ent ideas and incli­na­tions that exist in a har­mo­nious space. I find it intrigu­ing how dif­fer­ent ele­ments don’t nec­es­sar­ily need to inter­act with each other to feel whole.

Kelly Lynn Jones of Lit­tle Paper Planes did an exten­sive inter­view with Jonathan, which is infor­ma­tive not only about Jonathan, but Kelly her­self. I would highly rec­om­mend reading.
