Alwyn Dempster Jones Art for Sale and Sold Prices

Alwyn was born with a pencil in his hand! He has climbed the mountains and explored the valleys of North Wales and drawn and painted for as long as he can remember. Paintings are invariably executed on location with copious colour notes and sketches then finished in his studio.

He finds inspiration in the detail of a dry stone wall, the poignancy of deserted farms, the echo of empty forests and animated streams. He can be even be inspired by an O.S. map or a favourable weather forecast. Walking in the countryside is always a pleasure for him although not without its hazards as he has been bitten by dogs and horses, chased by pigs and charged by a herd of bullocks!

Following his art training in Manchester and Cardiff he worked as a graphic designer/painter and he has had artwork reproduced by The Sunday Times, The Times Educational Supplement, The Observer, and many periodicals.

He has produced advertisements for Yorkshire Television, designed and illustrated books and other publications as well as exhibitions for The National Trust, The Rambler's Association, The Welsh Books Council, Kellogg's, Marks Spencer, The BBC and many others.

His paintings have been exhibited in major galleries throughout the country and his work is found in many public and private collections in this country and in the USA, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, France, Germany and Chile.
