Madelon Jones

Madelon Jones, born in Brooklyn New York, became interested in Art at the early age of six. Her parents wisely found an art teacher since she was definitely not interested in ballet. The rest is history. My goal as an artist is to create works that are beautiful and thought provoking. I am in interested in nature, the play of light, and the emotional response these things provoke. The seasons dramatically affect my work. Textures change as a day passes. As the light moves from horizon to horizon shapes are constantly in motion. To me, each month of each season inspires a gestalt of color, form and movement. Im not interested in trying to replicate the reality of what Im seeing but rather abstract the visual essence and emotional content that it inspires.

Madelon graduated from U.C.L.A. with a BFA in painting and a minor in printmaking. While there, she studied painting with Nathan Oliviera and Irving Petlin. Upon graduation she returned to New York City for advanced studies at NYU and The School of Visual Arts. After many years as a painter she returned to SVA to work with the well known printmaker Robert Blackburn, who subsequently invited her to become a member of the Printmaking Workshop, a world renowned atelier for printmaking.Recent New York City showings include: the George Billis Gallery in Chelsea (2000), and one woman shows at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in Narrowsburg, NY (2002), the Amos Eno Gallery in New York City (2003), The Sullivan County Museum (CSA) (June 2004), and again at Amos Eno (October 2005). Her work can be seen in private collections as: The Norton Simon Collection, AT&T, Republic Bank, Bankers Trust, and Trump America. Her work appears in the National Archives in Washington DC. Madelon teaches master printmaking classes at her studio in Youngsville, NY. Throughout the years Madelon has participated in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally including: Ten Downtown, NYC, Hawaii Print Show, Hunterdon County Museum, Texas Print Show, Bos...
