Sally Anne Wake Jones

Fresh, dynamic and bold - these are just a sample of words to describe the paintings of Sally Anne Wake Jones. Her canvases are characterized by their vibrant, fluid colours, simple shapes, and free, expressive style. She captures the tranquillity of the surrounding world; immersing us in a series of idyllic moments suspended in time, whether she portrays seascapes or landscapes.

Deriving much of her inspiration from the beautiful Cote D’Azur in France, Sally Anne’s latest series of paintings portray the dynamic atmosphere of this region with energetic brushstrokes and a radiant palette of colours. These canvases showcase her ability to convey the varying moods of the sea; vast expanses of calm water bathed in lucid light are transformed with vigorous strokes into a turbulent swell - tempered only with the stilling presence of the sailing boats. There is an alluring, almost spiritual quality to her artwork.
