Jonathan Shimony graduated from Harvard College’s Visual and Environmental Studies Department with highest honours in 1987. Thanks to a Luce Foundation Scholarship he was able to study in Japan at the Tokyo School of Art where he was awarded a diploma of higher studies in 1989. He returned to the United States to continue his education at the Massachusetts College of Art and obtained an MFA in 1991. Jonathan won a Fulbright Scholarship to France in 1994 to be the Artist in Residence at the Ecole Duperré (National School of Applied Arts) and has lived in Paris ever since.

Jonathan has had extensive exhibitions as well as commissions of his prints, paintings and sculptures in Europe, the U.S. and in Asia. Jonathan's work is currently represented in Paris by Galerie Métanoia.

Michael McCarthy has been working with photography and printmaking for some twenty-five years now and has developed expertise in a wide range of photo techniques and processes--from some of the earliest photo processes such as cyanotypes, salt prints and gum bichromate prints through to the most recent digital applications (and often processes combining both the older historic and the newest digital techniques).

Michael received a Master of Fine Arts from Tyler School of Art and has been teaching in university art programs for nearly twenty years in the U.S. and in Europe. His work has received numerous awards over the years and has appeared in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. and in Europe.

Michael's work is represented in Paris by Galerie Duboys. You can also visitMichael's Personal Website to see more samples.
