Kathleen Hilliard JonesArtistb. 1988 • Tifton, GA2014 • Graduated from Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GACurrently works in Macon, GAIG: _kathjones Kathleen Jones is a mixed media painter based in Macon, GA. Her work is a mixture of abstract and still life that relies heavily on the mixture of traditional painting techniques combined with modern mediums like image transfer and collage. Her compositions are comprised of objects, patterns, and colors pulled straight from the places she spends time, both past and present. Her paintings aim to evoke a strong feeling of nostalgia for a specific time or place in her life as well as a generalized familiarity for the viewer. Her work can be found in homes and fine art galleries across the US and abroad. ARTIST STATEMENTI make art as a way to process and preserve my life experiences in the visual way that my mind sees them. I notice visual elements in my surroundings and start to form relationships in my mind. Compositions begin to form and attach themselves to those memories . I aim to create compositions that feel familiar to the viewer while still exciting and new, almost as if they know the work from a previous life but can’t quite pinpoint it. I love using colors, objects, and patterns that I see in life with traditional motifs like still life to weave a story that is both personal to me and relatable to the viewer.
