Ivan Jones

Biography

I am a retired vet who has become a pastel artist. I was introduced to pastels as a teenager by a friend of my father’s and in fact I still have my first set of pastels. I have completed a large number of works in the past 15 years, many of which can be seen on my website. I work from photographs and undertake commission work as well as create artwork in a wide range of subject matter. My commission work has a guarantee of satisfaction . Detail is of importance to me and each work takes 20 to 30 hours to complete. I admire the work of many artists including the Impressionists, David Shepherd, Simon Coombes, Rolf Harris and many of my contemporaries. I have exhibited widely within Herefordshire and have work currently at the Old Chapel Gallery in Pembridge and Sable and Hogg in Brecon.
