“Mountaineer” bronze sculpture by Burl Jones

West Virginia, with its rich traditions and culture, nurtured an artistic sensibility in Burl Jones that would build into one of the country's most respected careers in bronze sculpture. After graduation from West Virginia University, a two-year stint in the United States Public Health Service brought him to the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. This exposure to Native American culture, western wildlife and frontier ethic would prove to be a major influence on his later work.

Over two hundred original sculptures have been produced in limited editions and sold to collectors worldwide. West Virginia is still home. His works are available from their studio-gallery near Sissonville as well as major galleries throughout the country.
