with Featured Artist of the Month: Belindah Jones
Opening reception: Sunday, July 6, from 1 - 5 pm
Belindah Jones is from Nairobi Kenya, where her parents and one of her six siblings still live. While earning her Master of Fine Art degree at University of Iowa, she took a thesis research trip to Gambia and was fascinated by traditional African fabrics. Afterwards she began making works of art with African fabrics, adding clippings from newspapers and magazines to make statements. Her patterns draw the eye continually through and around the works, which are abstract yet real-world visions often focusing on societal needs.
Belindah teaches graphic design at The Art Institute of Washington in Virginia, where she met fellow artist Joseph Jones (also an MAA member) who became her husband and the father of their eight-month old son.
