About
When we discovered a hidden treasure trove of paintings by Jean Jones in a small cottage on Dartmoor three years ago little did we know how fascinated people would be by her work and by her story. It has been an amazing journey and we have felt incredibly fortunate to be part of it. So far we have focused primarily on her paintings of the expansive Dartmoor landscape she loved. This new exhibition introduces a collection of previously unseen paintings which were made beyond Dartmoor – in Oxford and London.
Earlier this year the Jean Jones Estate held an exhibition at Pembroke College, Oxford, and there we met Nicolas Moreton who was having his own exhibition at New College, Oxford. It seemed fitting to invite him to show his beautiful sculptures alongside Jean's paintings here in Devon. Jean was drawn to the ancient Standing Stones near her cottage on Dartmoor and they feature many times in her work.
