The Morgan Gallery at the Kittery Community Center is looking forward to exhibiting the works of David R. Jones, beginning with a reception on September 12 from 5:30 pm until 7:30 pm.
 
David R. Jones is an internationally renowned impressionist artist currently residing in Methuen, Massachusetts. He was born in North Wales, moved to England, then Paris, France, where he had his first show of Indian ink and brush paintings. His love for creating unique paintings finally came full circle in 2007, when he met international award winning artist, Sharon Morley, APS, who encouraged him to add color to his Indian ink works. David is a full-time artist and is president of the Methuen based Art Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley, and since 2018 has hosted a monthly “Art in the Studio” show at MCS.
 
Since 2017 David’s work has been shown in galleries around the world, including Paris France,  Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, Brussels, Cologne and Aix-en-Provence. He has won several awards including the Toile D’Or De L”Annee 2015 by the Federation Nationale de la Culture Francaise for his 40” x 30” oil on canvas “Ten Years Before” and his work has been published in multiple international art books. He recently had a solo show of his oil paintings “Abstracts of the Common Place - Landscapes of Europe & the United States” in May and June, 2023, at the Ayer Lofts Gallery in Lowell, MA. He was part of the collective show at the Galerie Beaute Du Matin Calme in June 2024 and is scheduled to have a show in Tokyo in September, 2024, in parallel with his Morgan Gallery show at the Kittery Community Center beginning Thursday Sept 12, 2024.
 
The exhibit will feature paintings of landscapes from the US, France and England each with his own unique impressionistic approach and style.” My paintings reflect my feelings about the places I have visited, or the emotion I have experienced” he explained.
