Olivia Jones is an Irish artist, originating from Co. Monaghan, now living along the west coast of Ireland in Co. Sligo.  From an early age she was influenced by form and structure as she explored materials in her father’s workshop.

This inspired her to follow a career in architecture and furniture design, until pivoting to a role in environmental education. This unique combination of experiences can be seen in her work, often showing natural and organic shapes restrained with architectural elements.

Olivia works predominantly on canvas, using acrylics and inks. She enjoys exploring the juxtaposition of freedom and control in her art-making, resulting in a style that is both expressionistic and graphically strong.  Her process includes techniques such as hard-edge lines, translucent glazed layers, fluid backdrops and decorative mark-making. Her style is dynamic and ever-evolving, as she takes information from each piece she creates to inform the next.
