Jonathan Kwegyir Aggrey, the youngest of nine siblings, was born in 1984. He received both his basic and senior education in Ashaiman.

When he was about five years old he knew that he wanted to be an artist. His family and friends did not discourage his early efforts but rather visualized his potential and realized that he had to be an artist.

He continued to study and work as a part-time roadside artist from 1995 to 2003. He moved to Accra and met his mentor, Mr. Enoch Yaw Mensah of Freehand Studio, with whom he studied.

Jonathan likes to work in all kinds of media but he is best known for watercolour. Jonathan has had the privilege of exhibiting in group and solo exhibitions in Ghana and abroad, appearing in several publications.

He is currently pursuing four-year degree studies in Art Education (Bachelor of Arts) at the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana. He works as a painter, sculptor and book Illustrator.

He is the current President of International Watercolor Society-Africa Continent and the only African in the jury committee board and a member of the International watercolor Society, Turkey.
