Artist STORY
Jonathan Gillingham, originally from Newfoundland and Labrador, is a storyteller whose medium is the stunning imagery of the Canadian wilderness. His journey from the coastal landscapes of his upbringing to the rugged and remote terrain of the Northwest Territories reflects his profound connection to the land. As a proud member of the NunatuKavut Community Council, Jonathan’s work is deeply influenced by his indigenous culture, heritage, and unwavering passion for nature and conservation.
Jonathan has recently relocated from the scenic community of Norman Wells to the capital city of Yellowknife, Jonathan continues to pursue his passion for capturing the essence of the Canadian wilderness. With a photographer’s eye and the adventurous spirit of an explorer, he immerses himself in the untamed beauty of his surroundings, seeking out moments of authenticity in every image. From the pristine waters of remote lakes to the towering peaks of mountains, Jonathan’s photography serves as a testament to the sheer magnificence of the Canadian wilderness.
Through his lens, Jonathan intends to invite viewers to embark on a journey of discovery and connection, inviting them to experience the magic of the Northwest Territories as if they were right there beside him. Each image aims to capture the timeless moments of beauty that resonates with the viewer. With his images, Jonathan not only captures the splendor of the Northwest Territories but hopes to remind everyone to value and protect the natural world for future generations.
