Jones Art Gallery, Virginia Beach

The Jones Art Gallery is a family legacy that has been shaping the art world since the 1950s. Located in the heart of Town Center, the gallery celebrates three generations of painters from the renowned Jones family—Louis, Susan, Ryan, and the late patriarch, Herb Jones. Their works form a captivating collection of original paintings and limited-edition prints that reflect both a shared artistic vision and an enduring love for nature, light, and emotion.

For decades, the Jones family has been a major force in contemporary American art. Their paintings have graced the covers and frontispieces of nine New York Times bestsellers by acclaimed authors such as John Grisham, Ian McEwan, and Neale Donald Walsch. With artwork credits in over 100 million books and features in major motion pictures and television programs, the Joneses’ influence extends far beyond the walls of the gallery.

The artists’ philosophy is simple yet profound—paint what you love. As the family explains, “We’ve found that if we paint the things we love, others respond in the same spirit. We’re a lot like you. We love the colors of early spring, a soft breeze on our cheeks, the laugh of a child.” This authenticity resonates deeply in their art, capturing fleeting moments of serenity and connection.

Visitors to the Jones Art Gallery can expect an intimate and inspiring experience. Each work carries the family’s distinctive style—graceful compositions, rich color palettes, and an unmistakable warmth that bridges generations. It’s a gallery where artistry, heritage, and heartfelt emotion meet, offering a true reflection of Virginia Beach’s creative spirit.
