Thomia Jones

The paintings of Thomia Jones are gentle without being bland, colorful without being gaudy. One may first notice the canvas size and depth of her acrylic hues, but then it’s the subject matter and perspective that captivate. Depicting seascapes vividly, Ms. Jones reflects them from the mind instead of the eye, displaying nature’s beauty through a lens in her heart. Thomia Jones considers her style to be semi-abstract, with definite line, form, balance and focal points. Surprisingly, the words “exciting” and “relaxing” can both be applied to a single one of her paintings!

New Jersey-born Ms. Jones was inspired by the art of her portrait-painter father. After years of professional art education, she received a Masters degree and taught art in the Philadelphia School District while raising her family. Thomia Jones’s work has been shown in galleries, art centers and private exhibitions in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. She explains her passion simply: “My life is art; art is my life.”
