Jonathan Hateley embarked on his artist journey in 2003, having previously sculpted for models and effects in TV and film, and created props for the musical “The Phantom of the Opera” and the English National Opera.

Born in the West Midlands and now living and working from a studio in the Sussex countryside, all aspects of the natural world inspire Jonathan’s sculpture. Working in clay, he enjoys the challenge of creating from both the real and imagined. Through his close observation and manipulation of materials, Jonathan is able to create detail and texture or surface bas-relief on his sculpture, which are hand finished and painted to accentuate the relief.

Jonathan Hateley sculpture is now highly sort after, with editions selling out quickly to his worldwide collector base. He exhibits widely both in the UK and internationally, including New York, Hong Kong and Singapore.
