Born in Swansea during the Great Depression, Jack Jones served in Egypt during the Second World War before taking up teaching, resulting in his appointment as the Head of English at Barnes Grammar Scholl. He began painting in 1953, but it wasn't until 1972 he became a full time artist. Self-taught, Jones' inspiration came from his childhood in the heart of industrial Swansea, its characters, landscapes and warm community. He is often, with some justification, described as 'the Welsh Lowry'.
