MEET Nancy Jones, a contemporary painter who creates luminous and vibrant paintings that hover between abstract and landscape. I am always drawn by the subtle layers that Nancy creates, her paintings sing  - SO beautiful and oozing with atmosphere.

READ on to discover Nancy's creative process and more!
Your works have an ethereal quality, yet are strong and energetic - could you describe a bit about your creative process and what inspires you?

I create contemporary landscapes. My paintings are about colour. There are endless combinations. I have worked with the same palette of primary colours for many years mixing  yellow, red and blue in varying proportions to create colour harmony. I achieve luminous colour by glazing thin layers of colour over top of one another on the canvas.
My paintings are also about the contrast of dark and light. They have strong value contrasts. They are moody and this evokes emotion in the viewer.

Describe your artistic journey? How did you arrive to painting?

I was fortunate to grow up surrounded by art as my parents were both artists. From day one I was painting and drawing in sketchbooks rather than colouring books. Drawing outside the line was encouraged.  As my children grew older I took up painting again and have never looked back. I now work in my home studio and offer workshops on colour mixing and value compositions.

You are a participant in the upcoming Images Studio Tour, Thanksgiving weekend, do you have any other upcoming exhibitions or workshops?

I do not have any upcoming exhibits at this time.  People are welcome to contact me through my website to visit my studio at Art by Nancy Jones.

I will be offering Studio Classes every Tuesday beginning October 16 and finishing on November 6, 2018.  The first Tuesday of the two day workshops will focus on composition using “NOTAN”: the Japanese term for light/dark. During the second Tuesday participants will transition from value studies to full colour paintings. Max. participants is five.

Where may people find your work, online and in-person? Do you take commissions?
​

Currently I post images of my new paintings on Facebook and Linked-In.  I usually have a few paintings at the Shadowbox in Orillia.  I am not an artist who takes commissions. That process just doesn’t work for me!
Be sure to drop by Nancy's studio during the upcoming Images Studio Tour during Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, Friday, October 5 to Monday, October 8, 10am to 5pm daily. Also, contact her about a studio visit or upcoming workshops!
