Foreword Where one journey ends, another begins. This time-honored belief is the basis for Jennifer JL Jones’ newest series, Landfalls and Departures. Jones’ paintings and works on paper are rooted in the natural landscape and beauty of her South Carolina low country home, yet each is a journey of self-exploration and innermost meditations. While Jones grounds her work in the reality of the world surrounding her studio and her many travels, her work comes alive when the artist freely pronounces her true feelings and desires through creative expression. Each work starts with a microcosm found in nature and transitions to a macrocosm of otherworldly places - where dreams overtake reality. Through brushwork that employs multiple layers of abstraction and a refined glazing technique, Jones creates rich, organic patinas that evoke universal emotional and physical connecting points for the observer, exploring the seemingly contradictory theories of nature both as corporeal reality and intangible spirituality. Works that, at first, appear to be composed of seemingly random abstraction, are in actuality metaphors for the artist’s self-exploration and celebration of the natural life cycle. Thus, inspiring one to question if it is the destination or the journey, nature or nurture, beginning or end, landfall or departure?

Artist Statement Beauty is everywhere, and as an artist, I interpret and echo patterns in nature while simultaneously investigating the emotional content associated with the natural world. Whether it is found in the grace of a falling leaf, the burnt edges of a ower, a kaleidoscope of cloud formations, the scale, and shape of a mountain, a glass-topped lake, or millions of crushed shells along a stretch of beach. My work is both a physical manifestation of my experiences and the intuitive guidance therein. An expression of what is not only seen but felt. I seek to translate my understanding of the essence of life; symbolizing change, time, and growth. My work interweaves my passion for travel, nature, and emotion. I juxtapose heavy and light brush strokes, shapes, colors and lines, creating multi-layered paintings reflective of the environment. Every journey, relationship, and experience has sculpted my process and provided a plethora of inspiration for my work and has served as a valuable way to observe, connect and understand. As each series is created, this invisible thread creates a life-quilt, my work becomes a reflection of my own odyssey and an oracle through which the observer may glimpse their own pilgrimage. -Jennifer J L Jones

Biography Jennifer J L Jones (b.1971 Virginia) 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. An exploration of beauty and energy, Jones’ mixed media paintings are a meditation on the dichotomy of the existence of nature both as corporeal reality and intangible spirituality. Employing multiple layers of abstraction and combined mediums including a refined glazing technique, she creates rich, organic patinas that evoke universal emotional and physical connecting points for the observer. Layers of paint create a palimpsest quality to the work, elegant, ever-shifting paintings combining a poetic, sensual grace with consistently bold execution. Jones’ long-established career is highlighted by exhibitions in select national and international galleries, including a 2013 group exhibition in Paris, France (in association with Besharat Gallery in Barbizon, France and the Taylor Foundation), as well as numerous solo and group exhibitions across the U.S. Her highly sought paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections worldwide such as the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Oprah Winfrey/Harpo Studios, Scana Energy, the U.S. Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal, and Burj Khalifa in UAE. Her most recent commissioned paintings are in the office of the President at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, the Baptist Medical Center, the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as Marriott in Gaylord, Texas. In 2019 Jones was featured in the February issue of The Atlantan Magazine.
