Harrison B. Jones (1943–2003) was an artist whose career combined visual art with a lifelong passion for sailing, writing and the Pacific Northwest. Born in Seattle, Washington, he served in the United States Air Force before graduating from the University of Washington. He subsequently earned his M.F.A. from the University of California, Davis. An enthusiastic sailor and motorcyclist, he was a member and past commodore of the Multihull Association and frequently raced and cruised on Puget Sound. During his later years, he worked as a yacht broker for Cruising Cats USA in Seattle. Jones died at his home on Whidbey Island in 2003.
