Robert Jones
Robert Jones was born in Cornwall in 1943 and attended Falmouth
School of Art where he was taught by Francis Hewlett and Robert
Organ. The impressions he gained in Cornwall of changing weather
and light, wild seas and skies, and of wind blown trees, are a
recurring theme in his work. His paintings draw on a divers career,
school teacher, college tutor, trawler skipper, furniture maker,
author and professional artist. Robert has exhibited widely throughout
Cornwall and in many “up country” locations including Stow-on-the-Wold
and Cork Street, London. He has also painted extensively in the
Mediterranean region, in Ireland and various parts of America.
His recent book “Alfred Wallis Artist and Mariner” was awarded
the prize “for the outstanding publication about Cornwall” by
the Cornish Gorsedd in 2002. Full details of this and “Robert
Jones” by Jenny Pery can be seen at the on line bookshop.
