Jackie Jones
South Berwick, Maine
“My work is rooted in direct observation and a lifelong connection to the landscape. Painting outdoors allows me to respond honestly to changing light, atmosphere, weather, and the emotional presence of a place. Whether along the New England coast or in the American West, I’m drawn to moments that feel both powerful and fleeting.”
