Jane C. Jones Art

I have lived in Pleasant Garden, NC all my life.  I graduated from Southeast Guilford High School and Famous Artist School - Commercial Art. Until 2002 painting had just been for pleasure and relaxation from a full time job.  At the encouragement of family and friends, in 2002 I had my first painting professionally reproduced in Giclee prints. Currently, I have ten paintings in limited edition print.  In all but one of these prints our beloved beagle appears, sometimes even hidden.  People enjoy finding him in each print.

I also paint commission artwork.  Commissioned artwork has been seen on Centre Friends Meeting bulletins and office stationery for many years and on a commemorative plate to celebrate Centre's Sesquibicentennial in 2008.  In 2008, a book titled "Centre Friends: The Legacy of the Meeting on the Hill" was published and I designed and did the painting for the cover.  I designed artwork for another book compiling all wording on markers in Centre Friends Cemetery.  "Growing Memories" was my third book cover and also has paintings throughout the book.  "Simple Gifts" was drawn for use at the United Society of Friends Women International 41st Triennial.  This was used on all printed materials and a piece of pottery.  Four paintings were created for a Bed and Breakfast in PA to be used on cards in 2010.  A book mark was designed, painted and used as favors at the 2011 Spring Conference of USFW.  More recently one of my snow scenes was used on the cover of a novel "Poet's Seat".

In February of 2009 I started a ministry of sharing my talent with the residents at the two Clapp's Nursing Homes in Pleasant Garden, NC.  This ministry all started in 2002 when asked to share drawing to music at different groups and meetings. I draw for them in pastels to music, and they seem to love it.  These drawing were donated each month and some are still seen in rooms.  My husband helps me with the set up and music.  We are also very proud of our two grown sons which are also very talented.  I am very blessed to have the support and encouragement of my family and friends in this adventure.

Have a look around and please contact me if you have any questions, comments or want to place an order. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jane Coltrane Jones
