Jonathan Meader's art has been exhibited internationally. Some is in The National Gallery and the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., and in many other collections. He lived in Lebanon and Morocco as a teenager, and has traveled widely. Meader and his wife, Barbara Demeter, devoted more than a decade to uncovering the long-forgotten sources and meanings of ancient Egyptian symbols. After he became a grandfather (x5) Meader dug up some of his pen and ink drawings, done 40 years earlier, and added color and poems.
