Fay Jones is a figurative painter who acknowledges the underlying narrative with confident originality. Her work is layered and theatrical, boldly colored, smoothly curved and sometimes highly patterned. The image is based on a monoprint made in Mexico. The nearest city is the shoe capital of Mexico, the shoe is a stencil, and the background is a recycled image drawn from a Chinese painting. Maybe it should be titled 'International Shoe.' –Artist statement
