Art Reception for Narratives: Paintings by Sheep Jones

Sheep Jones is the Official Belfast Poetry Festival Featured Artist for 2024. Join us for the opening reception for the exhibit in the Kramer Gallery.

Of her work, Sheep says, “I am a narrative painter, so books, movies, and best of all, other people’s tales, lend themselves as building blocks to create an interesting story in paint.” She continues, “My paintings begin with layers. I always am looking for the puzzle pieces to suggest a narrative. Disparate images finally come together and start to hint at some kind of sense. Often, people will look at one of my paintings and recognize in it their own story, their own past, their own dreams.”

Sheep was raised in Waterville, Maine and studied art at the University of Southern Maine. After years living out of state, Jones returned to Maine and now has a studio in Belfast. For more information about Sheep, visit her website here!
