Gareth Jones

Gareth Jones is a dual UK/US national born in the Lake District, Cumbria, and enjoyed drawing from an early age. He received a degree in Architecture from The University of Sheffield in 2001, but uninspired by the idea of six to seven more years of study to become an Architect, he taught himself computer programming instead. He ultimately ended up working as a Software Engineer at a trading firm based in Chicago. While living in Chicago, a Christmas gift of life drawing lessons from his wife rekindled his love of drawing. In 2018 (back in the UK), he began experimenting with paints - first oils, then gouache and casein. Gareth currently resides in Hampton Falls, NH, with his wife and two children, having relocated from the UK in 2019. To see more of Gareth's work, visit his website and Instagram.
