Leonard Jones paints memories of his rural childhood in Lincoln County, Georgia. Raised on a farm, Leonard spent his days helping tend to chores, looking after livestock, jumping rope, and grilling out. His deeply biographical paintings exhibit a relatable nostalgia and sense of satisfaction.

Today, Leonard lives in an secluded tin-roofed cabin without running water or electricity, situated deep in the woods of eastern Georgia. His home is engulfed by a forest of centuries old trees rooted in red Georgia clay.

In his earlier years, Leonard traveled across the southeast and to New York City many times but now he prefers to stay close to home.
