Ted Jones was born in Dublin in 1952. Apart from early instruction from his father, Ted was a completely self taught painter. He was encouraged to draw from a very early age and has nurtured and developed his immense talent into a style unmistakably his own. His unique style probably owes a lot to the fact that he never attended Art College, left to his own devices his style was able to evolve without influence, save his admiration for great artists such as Klimt, Rosetti & Carrivagio.
In 1998, demand for his work led to the publication of the first of a series of signed limited edition prints which have been hugely successful with over 20 titles published since its inception. In fact, demand has been so strong that many of the editions are completely sold out - some of these prints are now changing hands for 10 times their original price.
His first (and only) one-man exhibition in Killarney in 2005 sold out completely in a matter of hours, hitting the headlines in many Irish newspapers. 2006 saw the publication, by Killarney Art Gallery, of "A Life, Wrapped up" a signed limited edition book on his life and work.
