CATHERINE BOOKER JONES BIOGRAPHY
Catherine Booker Jones is an emerging Southern artist based in Albany, GA. She graduated with her B.A. from The University of Alabama in 2011. Jones takes her cues from the history of Minimalist and Modernist painting yet infuses a renewed sense of materials and color theory into her canvases.
Jones employs a variety of mediums, including gouache, acrylic paint, and oil pastel, when creating her work, and usually, a piece is developed from one bold color in the inception phase. Her minimal compositions allow the colors and shapes to hold court in her pieces. She has a strong appreciation for the unexpected and aims to provide that experience in her work. Art has always been an intuitive process for Jones, and she continues to find art as a natural expression of how she perceives her surroundings. The resulting body of work offers balanced studies of color and shape that are deceptively effortless.
What sets Jones’ work apart from that of other abstract painters is that each of her canvases carries a real sense of fluidity and transience. Her painting is a narrative of the people in her life that inspire her and embodies the inherent understanding among a family, which requires no verbal communication.
