Tess Gartland-Jones

Tess exhibits paintings and drawings that have been inspired by exploring areas of natural beauty from deserts to mountain tops and remote coastlines. These atmospheric and crafted works, have layers of glaze and techniques akin to an atelier training. Tess creates works that unite the traditional with a visceral contemporary process which will resonate with those who have a love of nature and exploring.
Tess lives mainly between the UK and Victoria, BC.

MA in Fine Art.
Tess also has postgraduate qualifications in Art History as well as Fine Art computing. Tess works within not only a traditional art context but has previously published papers on computational creativity. A fascinating and unusual art practice.
