My current artistic interests are illuminance and luminance as metaphors for interpersonal relations (if energy goes into something, does it come back out, and in what way?); personal narrative (what I believe I’ve learned from life); and commentary on human nature. I am particularly interested in new media and light art.

My interest in art began with winning a local watercolor prize at age five, then showing sculptural work through my teens in the 1970s with that of my parents as the “Jones Family.” Each of us repeatedly won juried art prizes, were commercially successful, and demonstrated our work through grants from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and Humanities.

I sometimes regret that I left creation of art to work for political figures and as a business lawyer but it has given me new things to say through art in new directions and media.

My art tries to show that artists can help us understand life. Thank you Mom, Dad, and artists great and small, for asking how art can speak to life. My art is hopefully for those still finding zest and personal progress by viewing and appreciating the artistic expressions of others.
