Gareth Jones

Gareth has recently returned to live and work in his native North Wales. He trained at both Flintshire and Loughborough Colleges of Art. Following a successful career as a graphic designer and illustrator, Gareth is now enjoying a growing reputation in the world of Fine Art.

His work features in many galleries across the UK and in private collections overseas. He has exhibited in The Royal Society of Marine Artists exhibition in The Mall Galleries, London, and is a member of the East Anglian Group of Marine Artists.

Initially working in acrylics, Gareth believes he found his true medium when using soft pastels for the first time in 2015. The Sea and the Coast are his trademark subjects but he is also increasingly drawn to representing the beauty of the North Wales countryside.

Winner of the North Wales Open Art competition in 2019, Gareth is an Associate Artist with the world renowned Unison Colour Pastel. He has also recently achieved the highly prestigious status of Signature Member of The Pastel Society of America.

Gareth welcomes commissions and is also a popular tutor, conveying his passion for pastel through demonstrations and workshops.
