Neil Jones |
 The
wildlife subjects of Neil Jones step beyond the limits of merely being
anatomically correct representations of wildlife. His paintings are
expressions of how he feels about his subjects.Wildlife has been at the centre of Neil’s life since childhood. His home bordered on the natural habitat of many magnificent wildlife species, providing an environment that fuelled his fascination. Out of this early passion grew a sense of higher purpose and commitment to conservation, which manifested in Neil’s artistic vocation of wildlife painting. Ducks Unlimited selected Neil’s painting "Red Fox with Goose Wing" as part of the Royal Dinner and Auction held in the presence of the Duke of Edinburgh, President of the World Wildlife Fund. There Neil’s work had a direct financial impact on conservation. Neil’s paintings have been shown in several solo exhibitions and group shows, including the Ramsar World Wildlife Fund Banquet and Show in Regina and the Canadian Nature Federation Saskatchewan Tour. He has won several prestigious awards, including Wildlife Artist of the Year in Saskatchewan twice. Neil’s work is held in both public and private collections. He also teaches, lectures and adjudicates. Indirectly, the paintings of Neil Jones have nurtured an understanding of our natural heritage, allowing people to become re-enlightened about the wonders of the outdoor world. |
