Piece description from the artist
The ocean is like nothing else on this planet. The smell, the feel, the sound—it is natures art. It's sand is something to behold when you look at it for what it is: an abstract art form that is just there. It just exists in its own natural form. I capture this with my camera, I focus and shoot. There is no manipulation whatsoever. It is just what it is: a thing of pure beauty. I walked this particular shore in Oceanside, California many days before I looked down and saw the magic of its movement. I thank my dear father, who passed in 2009, for helping me find this magic in the sand. Many months ago I knew that I needed something in my life that I could fall into and get lost in. I asked my father to walk by my side and guide me to something that would bring a sense of purpose and passion to my life. Shortly thereafter I saw the Sands of Oceanside in a very different light and it was BRILLIANT! Thank you, papa!
Marian Jones is an abstract painter and photographer who has been working in the visual
arts since 2019 (photography) March 2020 lockdown (painting), she is based in Oceanside,
California. A Texas native who has a Bachelors's Degree in Theatre Arts and a Master's in
Human Behavior has acted and produced theatre for over 20 years. Jones’ switch from
performing arts to visual arts was a very natural process that easily moved from one to the other.
Jones' abstract acrylic paintings and her designs are inspired by her work developing trust in her
inner self over the years. Finding the ability to honestly express without obstacles and in so
doing she opens her paintings up for others to find in her work their own truths. Indeed those
who have commented on her work have each seen something very different from others.
Trusting her hands to move and capture a design is simply a matter of trusting herself. Jones is also inspired by music everything from jazz to classical to hip hop and everything in between.
Jones’ abstract photography is an art form that allows her to use her strong sense of observation.
Her sand photographs are untouched, they are exactly as they were seen. Nature at its finest.
Jones’ started showing her photographs immediately at on-line galleries; Light Space Time and
Praxis Photo Center.
Jones’ abstract paintings have been shown at the Jones Gallery in Kansas City, MO.
