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.  She carefully edits her compositions, presenting ideas through theatrical characterization, as though she is directing a show.  Jones has been very successful with her artistic career in the Northwest.  She began working in printmaking in the early 90s, at an artist's residency at Centrum.  As an artist of free spontaneity, linocuts became her favored printmaking technique
