Meet Tess Jones
People ask how did you get started? I always say I have been doing art since I was young and then we laugh because I am 17.
I have been drawing and creating art since I could hold a crayon and paint brush. Early on my parents learned about washable markers because the world was my canvas including walls, my brothers, friends and myself.
Now I focus on watercolor, mixed medium and texturized acrylic. I enjoy bringing out the richness of watercolor with the addition of colored pencils. Recently, I have discovered texturized acrylic and enjoy learning the endless techniques of applying this medium to panels. It not only allows me to experiment with color but also dimension. I love the vibrancy and energy of this medium.
For the past few years I was creating artwork for myself and some commissions for family friends. Recently, it was suggested that I enter the Manayunk Art Festival, my first juried art event. I was accepted and started developing my business as well as art for this event and others. I hope to share my vision of the world with you; as well as, being able to create your vision as a commissioned client.
Please join me on this adventure.
