COLLEEN SURPRISE JONES ARTIST

I am an artist whose primary creative concern is expressing the emotional world and that which is felt, not necessarily seen. My work highlights the intensity and overwhelm experienced when dealing with a mental health issue or diagnosis, as well as the frustration caused by a lack of access to care and the internal chaos that ensues. I am beginning my MFA at the Paris College of Art this Fall where I will be focusing on expanding my drawing practice. My dance background will be utilized for exploring performance art while integrating the written and spoken word.
