Gale D. Jones dating history

Details

Gale Dean Jones (21 August 1956 – 18 January 2023) was an American artist best known for his woven watercolor technique. Woven watercolor technique involved creating two separate watercolor paintings in differing colors of the same subject, cutting each into strips, and weaving them into a composite work. Jones completed at least two woven watercolor works during a period of legal blindness caused by diabetic retinopathy from March 1981 through the summer of 1982. One of his woven watercolor works, "The Survivor", was featured in a national traveling exhibit of visually impaired artists sponsored by the National Exhibits by Blind Artists. Jones was the subject of a professional profile in the June 1984 issue of "American Artist" magazine which detailed his woven watercolor methods and sight impairment.
