Yardley Jones

Welsh-born John Yardley Jones spotted early in life the humour, irony and sadness that surrounds us as we make our way through life. He coupled this with his skill with a pen to become an internationally syndicated, award-winning cartoonist.

Premiers, Prime Ministers, U.S. Presidents, and members of the Royal Family have requested his work and the National Archives of Canada recently acquired all of his earlier cartoons still in his possession. But while Jones still enjoys poking fun at people and absurd situations through his cartoons and caricatures, he is now very active in his first love, watercolours.

"I'm sure my love of painting stems from my boy-hood days, when I would ramble in the mountains of my native North Wales," he says. "I was fascinated by the way the light played on the peaks and lakes."
