Bio: Katherine Jones is a contemporary British artist who combines painting and traditional printmaking techniques, bringing together disparate narratives in hyper-real or folkloric spaces. Perceptions of safety and danger are often presented using archetypal motifs such as a house, flower, sun or tree.

Jones is currently a visiting lecturer in Fine Art Printmaking at universities and colleges across the United Kingdom and Europe.
She was elected as a Royal Academician in 2022. Public collections include the V&A Prints And Drawings Collection, The Ashmolean Museum, Yale University Library and The House Of Lords.
