Jones, Pete (Born in Bangor, Pete Jones completed a degree in Fine Art at Loughborough College of Art & Design (via Chester School of Art) in 1983. He then spent thirty five years working in the NHS as a learning disability nurse. His first solo exhibition was held at Oriel Ynys Mon in 2019.)

"5 Orange Chairs" by Pete Jones, a former nurse, reflecting on his experience of working at Bryn y Neuadd Hospital, Llanfairfechan.

"As a former nurse who worked within an institutional setting the paintings are a very personal expression of my experience of an important aspect of Welsh social history." Source: Pete Jones recorded as part of the Hidden Now Heard oral history project. Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Hidden Now Heard was a three year project (2014-17) led by Mencap Cymru which captured the histories of residents, their families and staff from six former long stay hospitals in Wales for people with a learning disability. The hospitals included: Bryn y Neuadd Hospital, Llanfairfechan; Ely Hospital, Cardiff; Hensol Castle Hospital, Pontyclun; St David’s Hospital, Carmarthen; The North Wales Hospital, Denbigh; and Llanfrechfra Grange Hospital, Cwmbran.
