Helen Jones opened the doors to her fine art Gallery on August 8th, 1988 and has since represented some of the finest local, regional, national and international artists creating a harmonious blend of medias, styles, and subjects for her art collectors. Come celebrate this memorable event with Helen and twenty four of her favorite artists, Saturday, August 9 from 6 to 9 PM The special exhibition and sale will be until the end of August, 2008. Helen Jones Gallery has to be one of the most eclectic galleries that Sacramento has to offer. To understand where this eclecticism comes from, one only needs to get to know a little about Helen herself. Helen Jones is a native Sacramentan, who was married to her high school sweetheart Gordon Jones, who later became a major league baseball pitcher. Being the wife of a ball player took Helen across the United States as well as Cuba and Venezuela. On those adventures, she was afforded the opportunity to dance with Dezi Arnez, sing with Keely Smith, and swim with Ester Williams. Before starting Helen Jones Gallery in 1988, Helen worked for the California Legislature, beginning as a messenger and retiring thirty-one years later as Chief of Staff for Senator Waddie Deddeh. Her greatest achievement, Helen says, has been the rearing of her three successful children: Gary Jones who owns ATV, a video production company in Sacramento; Greg Jones who is a publishing consultant and is sought after in North America for his circulation expertise; and Janet Berry who recently became the first woman Chief Judge of the 2nd Judicial District Court of Reno, Nevada.
