An artist whose nostalgic, story-rich paintings continue to captivate collectors worldwide.
We’re thrilled to share that celebrated New Zealand artist Ross Jones has been featured on the cover of the latest edition of Sotheby’s Property Style Magazine – a beautifully curated publication that explores the intersection of fine art, luxury homes, architecture, and design.
