The Collections

Coastal & Harbor

Light, water, and nature

Capturing the dynamic interplay of coastal imagery — vivid oceans, precise sailboats, bustling shorelines, and guiding lighthouses. Symbols of hope, perseverance, and connection, inspired by San Diego's coastal landscape and a lifelong love of the sea's rugged beauty. Whether through the subdued, flowing movements of watercolor or the rich, textured vibrancy of oils, each piece conveys the duality of the coast's calm and storms.

Equine

Power, grace, and spirit

The raw power and majestic spirit of horses — conveyed through flowing watercolors and richly textured oils. Inspired by memories on a family ranch, each painting is a tribute to the enduring human-horse bond. Through vivid color, layered textures, and emotive compositions, these works illustrate themes of strength, grace, and resilience — sparking conversations, rekindling memories, and stirring the heart.

Brad Jones - The Water and Oil Artist

Brad Jones

I was born with a creative spirit, one that urged me to explore, build, and understand. From the earliest days, I sought to create — often inspired by my older brother David, whose artistic journey I deeply admired. As he sketched, I sketched, and by middle school, I pursued every creative class I could, leading to a love for drafting and architectural design.

Life redirected me toward physical therapy, where I found meaning in helping others. Yet even there, my creativity took shape — innovative approaches to therapy became my signature, and I found deep satisfaction in the art of healing.

Then came a storm. In the depths of despair, a voice urged me to draw again. Charcoal led to colored pencils, then oils and watercolors, and in each stroke, I found myself again. Emotions I thought I'd lost — hope, joy, and peace — flowed through my art.

"Art is my way of transforming the intangible — emotions, experiences, and fleeting moments — into something tangible and lasting."

Now I create from a place of profound purpose, focusing on equine and coastal themes. Through these works, I channel my journey — of loss, rediscovery, and resilience — hoping each piece invites others to feel deeply, just as creating it has for me.
