Stewart Jones

I'm a fine artist whose paintings depict the many faces of nature as reflected by my careful exploration into the flora and fauna of where I choose to paint. Whether capturing the beauty of local color, or stepping outside the box to represent more modern abstract creations, my point of view is always full of breathtaking color, lyrical expression, and a well developed respect for the environment that surrounds me.

Born in Panama City, Florida, I moved at an early age to the Midwest with my family. In Ohio, I grew up on a farm amidst the open unspoiled terrain of rural farm country. It was here where my appreciation for vast open landscapes began. This affinity for the landscape continues as a driving force which resonates throughout my life as a mature artist.

I enjoyed drawing in both art and mechanical drawing classes in high school. I graduated from Ferris State University in Michigan, where I studied commercial art. After twenty years in the Midwest, I welcomed the chance to return to Florida. I lost no time creating a passion for the abundant Florida landscapes that had captured my imagination.

Today, I love to travel to new areas to refill my artistic soul with the natural beauty that pours creative energy back into my art. When traveling away from my studio, I spend my time painting Plein Air. This is a French term for painting out in nature with outdoor light.

My work is currently in the private collections of patrons and companies around the world. My art studio is at Gallery on First in Sanford, Florida. I also exhibit my paintings at The Artistic Hand in Oviedo, Florida and Ocean Art Gallery in Ormond Beach, Florida.

I enjoy receiving feedback from my audience about how an individual piece has touched your life. Please sign up on the contact page at my website StewartJonesArt.com to receive periodic updates about my journeys and to be one of the first to see my latest work.
