About Us

Who we are

Big Sky Fine Art is an independent UK company owned and managed by husband-and-wife team Jane and Barrie Jones. It is both a business and a passion, having evolved from our shared love of art and many years spent collecting privately.

Jane has a professional legal background, having worked as a lawyer for forty years, while Barrie’s background is rooted in the Royal Navy and international commerce. We were collectors long before we became dealers, and have now been trading professionally for over fifteen years. What began as a personal enthusiasm has developed into an established business, providing carefully selected original art to collectors and art lovers throughout the world.

What we do

We operate principally as an online gallery, selling original fine art directly through our own website and through a number of established specialist platforms.

Our collection spans the eighteenth to twentieth centuries and includes paintings and drawings by British, French and other European artists. It is an interesting and frequently changing selection, ranging from works by well-established names to those of lesser-known but accomplished artists. Our choices are guided by quality, artistic merit and individuality, rather than fashion or reputation alone.

We take considerable care in researching the artists whose work we offer, providing detailed biographies and information wherever possible. We believe that understanding something of an artist’s life, influences and place in art history adds greatly to the pleasure of owning their work.

It has always been our practice to deal exclusively in original art. No prints or other reproductions. Each work is completely unique. The one you see here is the only one!

Works are generally sold framed, unless otherwise stated, and in good condition appropriate to their age. We aim to describe each piece accurately and honestly, including any imperfections that should reasonably be brought to a purchaser’s attention.

We value integrity and professionalism, both in the art we sell and in the service we provide. There is no “Price on application” nonsense: our prices are clearly displayed, and purchasing through our website is straightforward and secure. Prospective clients are always welcome to get in touch, and sensible conversations around price are encouraged.

We offer a friendly, discreet and personal service, including the opportunity to arrange private viewings where practical. Whether you are an experienced collector or buying your first original painting, we are always happy to share what we know, answer questions and help you make a choice with confidence. We take pride in our reputation for being approachable, trustworthy and efficient, and particularly value the kind comments we receive from customers about our communication and attention to detail.

All works are carefully packed for safe transport, with worldwide shipping available and occasional personal delivery within the UK.
