First Light Painting

Deborah Jones (British), graduated from Central St Martins with a Batchelor of Arts, and has had a previous career in interiors and design, including Osborne & Little and Harvey Nichols. Deborah recently exhibited her golden birds and koi oil paintings for a private event hosted by The King of Ashanti's nephew Yaw Mark Nkansah-Amoyaw. A Silver Jubilee Celebration for the King and his collectibles which are held at Windsor, The Wallace Collection and The V&A Museum. The event was held at The Womens University Club in Mayfair London. Her recent solo show at The Hyde Gallery, (Chiswick, London), exhibited a culmination of works from the Brazil, Exteriority, and California collections. Specialising in Printed Textiles Design, Jones utilises skills learned and puts them into her artwork. Often incorporating design, pattern, and repeat, with discrete elements showing. Jones draws inspiration from her travels throughout Brazil incorporating the tropical world to the botanical tranquillity of the English Countryside and Lakes. Featured in Tatler, Style & Decor, Suboart Magazine, Women United Art Magazine, and in curated collections with Saatchi Art. Also selling design work to Nike at Indigo. With a distinctive style, Jones uses a variety of mediums, such as oil, acrylic, spray paint, and gold leaf, paired with a passion for painting on birchwood, bringing her artwork closer to nature. Jones paints flora and fauna in a contemporary style, by stripping back the layers of nature and putting them back together again in an interesting way. Complimentary to her design background, each artwork is often characterised by the thoughtful incorporation of layering and intricate detailing. From the composition of the painting itself to custom framing, Jones ensures that each piece is meticulously structured and a vibrant talking point in any setting.
