Gabrielle Jones

Gabrielle Jones’ work has been increasingly recognised for the originality and sensitivity that she brings to her landscapes, which were described by the eminent artist Charles Blackman as “… full of shining light, radiant…[she] lets the inner things – her soul – come into her paintings [and] evokes feelings from the viewer…”  and more recently by the Art Critic Jeff Makin who wrote: “Gabrielle Jones does have something different to say about the landscape…Jones’ tone [creates]…a particularly ethereal quality, and a landscape for contemplation”   Herald Sun Feb. 2007

Since graduating in 2003 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the National Art School Sydney, Gabrielle has won the Brentwood Acquisitive; the ANU Tanner Lecture Series; and the Northbridge Art Prizes; was a finalist in the Inaugural Art on the Rocks; the Fleurieu Peninsula Biennale Art Prize, S.A; the Portia Geach Memorial Portrait Prize at the S.H.
