About Artist

Katherine Jones brings together disparate narratives in hyper-real or folkloric spaces. Perceptions of safety and danger are often presented using archetypal motifs such as a house, flower, sun or tree. She combines traditional and experimental printmaking techniques exemplified by the humble card she uses for her collagraph plates. Her ideas are often exchanged between watercolours, oil painting and printmaking, here a luminous magic is manifested with her use of colour and painterly marks.

In 2022 Katherine Jones was elected as a Royal Academician. Collections include: (UK) – The Victoria and Albert Museum; National Art Library; University College, London; Hospitals Art Collection; Government Art Collection; Royal Festival Hall; Winchester College; Eton College; Ash-molean Museum; University of Chichester Art Collection; Pallant House Gallery, Chichester; University of Warwick Art Collection; Royal West of England Academy, Bristol; (USA) – Lafayette College, Boston Athenaeum; Wellesley Library; Swathmore College, PA; Yale University Library, CT; United Therapeutics Art Collection; (CN) – Guangdong Museum.
