Jonathan Schofield was born in Manchester in 1970. He has been based in London for over 25 years. He completed his MA in Fine Art (Painting) at the Royal College of Art, Kensington, where he was taught by renowned artists including Peter Doig, John Stezaker, Sean Scully, and Helen Chadwick. His degree show sold out, earning him a distinction, and his work entered several permanent collections, including the RCA’s own.

Following his studies, Schofield was awarded a prestigious scholarship to spend six weeks painting in Asilah, Morocco, and later undertook painting sabbaticals at studio residencies in Paris and Rome. He also spent a formative summer painting in New York.

After graduating, Schofield built a highly successful career as a Creative Director before returning to painting full-time in 2014. His work quickly began to attract a growing audience and collectors, aided by the democratising reach of social media.

Schofield’s often large-scale paintings are now held in private collections across Copenhagen, Germany, the United States, and London. He currently works from his studio in Hackney, London.
