Born and raised in Waterville, Maine, Sheep Jones is a painter whose works invite viewers into rich, symbolic worlds—often split between what lies above and beneath the surface. Now based in Belfast, Maine, Sheep works in oil and wax on panel, using a layered, translucent technique that reflects her early training in watercolor and encaustic painting. “Layers add extra interest, leaving swatches of color in their wake,” she says. “These are perfect tidbits for the imagination.” Sheep’s art has become some of the most sought‑after work at the Portland Art Gallery, where collectors are drawn to its warmth, narrative richness, and subtle spiritual undertones. Whether depicting scarecrows and saints or rogue sunflowers and bees, her paintings offer a tender, humorous reflection of the seen and unseen worlds we carry with us. Often starting with a single bulb or horizon line, Sheep allows imagined landscapes and dreamlike figures to emerge spontaneously. “I start with a line,” she says. “Then it becomes a world—something sprouting from the earth, something flying in the sky.” Each painting becomes a puzzle in motion, hinting at personal memory, shared mythology, and the mysteries of daily life. A former member of the acclaimed Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia, Sheep was named Artist of the Year there in 2003. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe, and is held in private collections nationwide. Learn more about Sheep's life and creative process through her interview on Radio Maine.
