Beverley Jones

Beverley Jones trained as an artist in Cheltenham, then London, before returning to Oxford in the late 1990s. She’s now involved in various overlapping art practices – her own landscape painting, teaching art in a senior school, and producing artwork and workshops within a church setting as a form of worship and meditation for all.

Her creative process involves exploring her feelings about the forms and colours of the amazing environments in which she has lived and travelled. Her goal is to capture something of the spirituality and mystery that can be experienced, to bring it home and to share it with the viewer. Her pictures often explore the relationship between the land, the sea and the sky, in which each element seems to share its colour and movement with the others.

Her oils are often on rough linen, sometimes extending beyond the face of the canvas and so conveying the roughness of the land, the transience of scenes that shift with the ever-changing weather and light, and the impossibility of containing the landscape on a simple canvas.
