Lynda Jones was born in Sunderland in 1970, settling in Monmouth in the early 1980's, where she has lived ever since. She studied Art Foundation at Newport College of Art & Design, followed by a degree in Visual Art at The University of Wales, Aberystwyth.
She worked for a number of years in a non art related business, always painting in her spare time. In 2007 she finally gave up her day job and started painting full time.
Her canvases are mostly depictions of landscapes in the Monmouth area - the final image often bears little relation to the original subject but all have a common starting point - the memory of a place she knows well. Several of her paintings have been shown in various exhbitions in recent years and in 2009 she had a solo exhibition in the Great Atlantic Gallery in Monmouth, followed by other solo exhibitions in following years at the Great Atlantic, then The New Leaf Gallery.
Lynda currently sells her paintings through the New Leaf Gallery; a link to their website can be found below:
a new exhibition of Lynda's work begins on 28th July 2017 at The Round House, The Kymin, please see the New Leaf Gallery website for further details.
