Stephie Jones

Stephie Jones is a coastal artist based in Virginia Beach who is well known for her range of interpretations of oysters. She experiments with her subjects in all forms, sometimes focusing on realism, other times mood, and often experimenting with color and abstracted shapes or layering texture and pattern. She is fascinated by unique color pairings, the depth created in darks and lights, the surprises created by building washes of paint, and the nebulous organic shapes found in nature. Her paintings evoke feelings of peace and serenity, and at times energetic playfulness. Stephie works from her home studio where she enjoys the flexibility of a five step commute, as well as cats sleeping on her feet.
