Artist Statement:
Abundance is found through exploration. The search, not the endpoint, often yields the fruit. To leave the known is to adventure and thus find life. Jones employs pattern, line, texture, and transparency to explore the theme of pioneering, and the isolation and exhilaration inherent to such journeys of discovery. Interested in chance and the element of surprise, Jones allows the materials to direct her work by responding intuitively to tears and washes, drips and rapid marks. She seeks to create spaces that challenge ideas of home, safety, and travel. Michelle Jones earned a MFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art in 2005 and a BFA in painting from the University of Mississippi in 2002. A native of central Mississippi, Jones spent eleven years in Boston, MA producing paintings and quilts. She made the trek back South in 2014 and resides in Mobile, AL with her husband and daughter.
