The Brownston 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 painted 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...

HERITAGE at The Brownston Gallery brings together three extraordinary and diverse artists in one stunning exhibition for the first time.

When maritime artist Anthony Amos died in 2010 he left a legacy of hundreds of paintings bought by a legion of collectors who admired his work for over twenty years.
Whilst neither received due recognition for their work during their lifetime, both are...

These haunting paintings are a harsh reminder that beauty in nature can be fleeting....
