SUMA Stories
Jim Aton,
Professor of English, SUU
I have the great honor to tell the story of Jimmie Jones’ life. I knew Jimmie for almost 30 years and counted him as a good friend. He was not only my favorite landscapist, he was one of my favorite people. It would be difficult to find a person who was such a gifted artist and also such an extraordinary human being. I have heard this echoed in scores of interviews with Jimmie’s friends and family; these interviews are for a coffee-table book to be published by Gibbs Smith Books. It is the rare interview that people do not break down in tears talking about Jimmie. He was just that kind of person who greatly affected people’s lives. I hope that the book, along with the Jim Jones Gallery in SUMA, will help the world appreciate what a treasure Jimmie was—as artist and human being.
