Get Off My Cloud 2

What do you see when you look at the clouds? Where will the wind carry them next? Artist Emma Jones creates an abstract landscape that invites contemplation when viewed from a distance. Up close, her clouds are anything but ephemeral: They're built with thick paint and arranged with a painting knife for eye-catching texture and dimension. One in a series of two.

• Emma Jones was born in the Pacific Northwest. While growing up in a small northern suburb of Seattle, she was constantly listening to rock and roll and filling up sketchbooks. As a child, Emma's passion was creativity. She was always drawing, collaging, painting, and doing whatever she could to put her hands and creative mind to work. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in art. Emma's work primarily features mixed-media painting and collage. She brings together many different mediums to create abstract yet cohesive compositions. Her work has been featured in a number of group exhibition shows throughout the United States and Europe.
