Mary Jones (she/hers) is a painter living and working in NYC. Her work investigates the intersections of abstraction and figuration, layering passages of improvisation with collage, found materials, X-rays and spray paint. Construction and destruction are equally employed techniques in a process that seeks fragments of human form at the edge of recognition.

Jones is represented by High Noon Gallery in NYC, where she has had three one-person shows. She has also recently had solo shows at as-is.la and Steffany Martz Gallery. Her work is included in the Broad Art Collection in LA, among others, and has been written about in numerous publications, including The Brooklyn Rail, Two Coats of Paint, White Hot Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Art in America and ARTnews. Her writing about art includes numerous reviews and interviews with artists in such publications as Two Coats of Paint, The Brooklyn Rail, Bomb Magazine and ArtCritical
