About the Artist

Sally Jones

Sally Jones was born on the Isle of Man in 1959 where she took her Art Foundation course under Norman Sayle, RI. Her application to study fine art was abandoned when she needed "a proper job". Years as an architectural technician was followed by a move later on to London. Sally continued to draw for many years, selling numerous pen and ink works and fulfilling commissions. It wasn't until she moved to Cornwall, however, that she began to paint again. She has attended classes in watercolours and has been learning oil painting and portraiture techniques under Tony Tewfik. Her work has sold well in Cornwall and she regularly undertakes private commissions. The artists she most admires are Norman Hepple and John Singer Sargent. She is inspired by the use of light, spontaneity and illusion of detail. Sally's painting aims to capture a moment in time; often a movement or expression in someone's eyes, bringing it alive for an audience.
