Emerald Mount - Limited Edition of 10 Print

Sherrie-Leigh Jones is an Artist and Printmaker based in Brighton, East Sussex. She creates imagined landscape prints inspired by nature and natural phenomena, and the romantic sublime. Inspiration is also drawn from Japanese prints and concepts including the woodblock printmaking movement known as Shin-hanga and Sansuiga, paintings that depict an idealised landscape using the forms of mountains, rivers, clouds and mist. Her works offer the viewer a sense of escapism and a reminder of the simplicity, calmness and enjoyment of being in nature, embodying the changing seasons and times of day with their ambient light and colours. To create her prints she assembles collages using photographs taken on her travels and walks in the English countryside, combining them with painted elements. The complete compositions are then taken into the print studio to be exposed on screens and hand pulled as screenprints, often printed with graphite powder and pigments. Jones exhibits in the UK and internationally, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2021). Work is held in Jeremy Cooper's Collection and private collections in the UK, Europe, USA and Taiwan. Her work has received support and recognition from a-n The Artists Information Company and Arts Council England (2020), Woolwich Contemporary Editions (2018), Print Futures Award (2015) and she has been commissioned by fashion label, To Be Adored (tba), which featured on the front cover of Grazia China (2013).
