ABOUT JONTY

From the kitchen to the studio.

Chef, artist and storyteller.
Inspired by food, nature and everyday life.

I’m Jonty Franks, a chef and artist based in the Cotswolds. My creative journey began in the kitchen and has grown into a practice that brings together food, nature and the everyday things that catch my eye.

I work in watercolour and digital media to create colourful, characterful artwork inspired by ingredients, seafood, wildlife and the natural world.

My background as a chef has a big influence on the way I see things. I’m drawn to colour, texture, form and the small details that give a subject its personality.

Every piece starts with curiosity and is made to bring a little colour and character into a room.
