Robert Leo Jones is an American artist who has been creating art for most of his 73 years. These days he is predominately a painter, but still works occasionally in furniture repurpose and design. His current projects are layered paintings done in acrylic on canvas or masonite. Every year or so he starts honing a new technique and by consequence his work, while mostly abstract, takes on new forms and shapes.

Bob is a graduate of Kent State University and has lived in Rock Island, IL, Atlanta, Lancaster, PA, Detroit, Washington, D.C., & Melbourne, FL.

He has been a printmaker, worked for Phillip Morris and the YMCA, driven a laundry truck, wrote copy for New Holland Farm Equipment, owned a Midcentury Modern furniture store, been a landlord, owned a neighborhood bar, painted houses and is now retired. This full life of travel and work has given him fodder to keep painting for many years to come. He welcomes your comments and suggestions .
