Jon Peaty was a Welsh-born artist who worked in London before the war and lived in Southwick, West Sussex, UK from 1946 –1972. In 1973 he moved to North Yorkshire which was then his base until the end of his life.
During the first phase of Jon’s career he produced a considerable variety of commercial work through studios and agencies in London and Brighton.
However, the artist’s principal interest through the whole of his working life was painting. He worked mainly in oils.
