About the artist : The soft painterly, luminous expressiveness of Katrina Jones' paintings offer an escape from the mundane and a suspended moment of liveliness and beauty. The subtle & rich colors, and aged textures she applies in her art, offer a peaceful nostalgic quality. Her work is shown in galleries, and licensed for wall art, decor & gift ware. Her original paintings can be found in private collections around the world. ​ "I am moved by color, music, poetry, patterns and rythms in nature, and inspirational personal stories that quicken the heart and bring me home. This is what I paint about. I often incorporate some nostalgic themes from my childhood... magical times of innocence, comfort, and joy. I have a deep reverence for wildlife, and wistful times or places of solace. I feel that by creating an artwork of that nature, I can share a gift of feeling and allow my spirit to connect with others. ​ I have been painting, drawing, and crafting things for as long as I can remember and the experience of creating art is my Eden. It is my hope that experience is carried to the viewer." ​ Katrina lives and works out of her home based studio on a small farm in rural Ohio. These works are offered to the audience that connects to the spirit and dance of beauty they represent.
