Roderick Booth-Jones

Born 1954 Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.
Multi-talented artist with specialisms in murals, trompe l’oeil, paint effects, still life, and portraiture.

“Whether a huge mural or an intimate study of a person, I like my art to begin a story, then invite its completion. The imagery should draw you in, then let your imagination roam free. That way you’ll never tire of the work.”
