Matt Petley-Jones
Petley Jones Gallery was established by owner,
director and painter Matt Petley-Jones.
Born in Edmonton, Matt Petley-Jones graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Arts Special in 1978 with a major in painting.
Matt credits his love of art to his family; his parents were both professional photographers and influences such as his uncle Llewellyn Petley-Jones made a huge impact on his aesthetic sensibilities.
Drawn to the energy created in composition, Matt’s paintings focus on creating movement through broken down forms and the interplay of colour on the canvas. He attempts to retain the essence of his subject while bringing to it a new dimension through his vibrant palette.

Matt’s paintings are also available at the Canadian Fine Arts in Toronto and SOPA FINE ARTS in Kelowna.
