Bio

Kathleen Jones is a mixed media painter based in Macon, GA. Her work is a blend of abstract and still life that relies heavily on the mixture of traditional painting techniques combined with modern mediums like spray paint and collage. Her compositions are comprised of objects, patterns, and colors pulled straight from the places she spends time, both past and present. Her paintings aim to evoke a strong feeling of nostalgia for a specific time or place in her life as well as a generalized familiarity for the viewer. Her work can be found in homes and fine art galleries across the US and abroad.

Kathleen is currently represented by Meyer Vogl Gallery (Charleston, SC) and Anne Irwin Fine Art (Atlanta, GA).

Artist Statement

I make art as a way to explore the experience of life, both for me personally and the collective whole. My work uses objects and motifs that we all recognize, such as fine china and Japanese ceramics, to illustrate relationship dynamics and impactful life experiences. My color palette is bright to bring an air of joy to the paintings, because there is beauty in all experiences, even pain. My abstracted still life compositions include elements of traditional still life while also welcoming non-representational elements that make it feel like a memory. My aim is always to weave a visual story that connects me to the viewer and the viewer to their own life story.
