Artist Statement 

By:Jennifer Jones

 

I’ve always noticed so much beauty in the world. All the tiny but huge details that go into it. Whether it be in a kind person,  or the exact time of day the light reflects off the ocean and looks like diamonds. For a long time I thought everyone saw things the way I do. I grew up in a small town in NJ . I had the best of both worlds living by the ocean and close to the woods. Like many, I had a hard time in schools. I was challenged and frustrated with my attention problems that later brought on anxiety and depression. Problems that I now know how to channel into my artwork. I got married and had children very young. All my attention and time went to my family. My sons had the same attention disabilities as I do,  so I had very little time to focus on myself. I have only started painting earlier this year. I was laid off due to Covid. It’s been a very stressful time and I’ve had endless sleepless nights . Every time I felt restless or full of anxiety, I used my artwork as my therapy. It opened up a whole new world for me. I realized that I could use it to speak and heal during this crazy time . It has given me clarity and calmness in the chaos. I hope my artwork inspires people. I hope it gives them the inspiration in knowing that it’s never too late to pursue your passion. I hope it shows them the calm, healing power artwork has on each and everyone of us.

Biography

My Biography 
By- Jennifer Lynn Jones

My artwork is unique and Ever-changing.
Not one piece is the same.
It’s all original just like myself.
It’s a little glimpse of my life and it’s how I express and release my inner pain. 

My goal is to create artwork full of parallelisms and contradiction.
The softness of rock, how dark can be bright
The pieces will appear different depending on which angle or in what light.

I use every medium I can find inventing uses for items you might see everyday.
I use discarded items, from broken glass and old windows.
I’ll make you see the beauty in things people usually throw away. 

I hope you enjoy my exciting new journey in my artwork.
I will continue to grow-evolve and share with you how my life, my dreams , and my struggles are a reflection of my hard-work.
