Katryna Jones

I am a Canadian artist, currently living in Edmonton, Alberta with my wonderful husband, the furry love of my life, my rabbit Jack and our two over-sized, mooching lap dogs. I grew up in rural Alberta which helped me cultivate a strong passion for nature, wild life and their relationship with colour. To this day my childhood experiences with nature, my love for animals and the freedom of rural life, continue to strongly influence my lifestyle, and way of thinking, as well as my art.

My parents were very supportive of my artistic endeavors and often encouraged me to explore different outlets. My Great Grandfather, Abe Patterson, was a widely renowned wood carver from Ontario and my father was very keen on teaching my siblings and I how to create with our hands. In high school upon taking an introductory art class, I found my footing in drawing and sketching. I continued on to take the two successive art classes offered by my high school and after graduating went on to pursue a professional career in graphic design.

Beyond my high school experiences, I am entirely self taught. I also dabble in photography and photograph/scan and retouch my own pieces for digital posting and reproduction. My work is available as prints or reprod...

Im primarily a self-taught artist. I took entry level art classes through high school which focused primarily on introduction to mediums and art history. Beyond this, what I have learned and my technique has been developed primarily through trial and error and personal research/reading. I enjoy change and personal development and am always testing new methods to improve the quality of my work.
