Thorn on the Plym by Jean Jones

Opening Times

Sorry, this event has passed

The gallery is delighted to once again show works by the late Dartmoor painter Jean Jones. Married to John Jones, an Oxford Don, Jean loved to escape the pressures of academic life by spending as much time as possible at Yellands, their hideaway cottage on the edge of Dartmoor. Yellands became Jean's place of refuge and from there she would paint much-loved and familiar scenes including the nearby Ringmoor Standing Stones, the China Clay Pit, the River Plym as well as neighbouring fields and farms.

Solace of Place is packed with Jean's bright and vivid depictions of the unique landscape of Dartmoor and reveals how important this area was to her over the years.
