Saundra Jones was born and raised in Tennessee and now living in Alberta, Canada for the past 8 years.
"I try to go home as often as I can because my roots are there and the landscape is so beautiful. Growing up on a farm has definitely inspired me to paint landscapes, animals and things in nature. I like to paint en plein air, but mostly from photographs. I love taking the image and eternally preserving it on canvas with my own interpretations of that image, and bringing out those little details that are often overlooked, such as a shadow or texture. I paint from a variety of mediums and subjects. The medium I use depends on the subject and whatever I feel goes right for the painting. I frequently paint in watercolor, oil and pastel."
"I’ve been inspired by many artists and have many favourites. I love Georgia O’Keefe’s works in particular. I’ve always been fascinated with her landscapes."
