RON JONES
From the complex craftsmanship to the simple power of a
woodblock print, Ron Jones intimately balances technical
knowledge with artistic expression, a vital ingredient in his current
printmaking.
After attending the Burnley School in Seattle, Ron worked eight years
as a designer and illustrator. It was a good way to learn the
intricacies of the graphic arts.
Today he puts those intricacies to work shaping serigraphs. They
may reflect the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, everyday life, or
events and feelings transformed carefully into art.
Ron also spent four years of extensive theological study and training
at Community Chapel Bible College. Many people, especially
artists, are intrigued with the relationship of his Christian
commitment and his artwork. "Whether practical or spiritual, I've
found a freedom and true perspective for my life and work. It is a
deeply rewarding experience."
