JENNIFER J.L. JONES

Jennifer J L Jones (b.1971) is an American artist raised in rural Virginia and on the central east coast of Florida. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois.

Jones’ mixed media paintings depict nature, to be sure, but not so much nature per se— flora and fauna, landscapes and seascapes—as what nature inspires in her. Awe. Gratitude. Connectedness. Grace. Beauty. “Much of my work has been about healing and lessons from nature,” says Jones. “For a long time it was about soothing and finding peace. My work tends to be emotionally driven so I’m communicating my lessons, energy and growth through the work. As the work has evolved it’s become increasingly energetic, gestural and yet still holds a peaceful nature. I’ve recently realized my biggest quest has been about belonging and finding a place where I feel at home.”

Which may explain Jones’ drive for that sense of place and what infuses her work with such energy and elan. That, and her technique and the array of artists that inspire her. Her favorites range from Titian and Hieronymous Bosch to Anselm Kiefer, Joseph Beuys, Robert Rauschenberg, Frida Kahlo, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell. And her process is unique—impressionistically abstract, as if through a scrim of encaustic. It’s a layered glazing technique that she learned in Chicago, while studying the Old Masters’ techniques.

Mostly, her work is about beauty—finding beauty, living beautifully, inspiring and honoring beauty. “The most important thing I’m trying to convey is finding peace within/of/between life and death,” says Jones. “My work is about transformation and finding a connection in this world. I want to transport viewers and embrace them through my work. Ultimately it is about energy and feeling a universal connection.”
