Esther L Jones
Esther Jones was delighted to discover, in 2015, that she had been a lifelong artist. A self-taught pastelist, she now paints to expand her knowledge of the world and worship her Creator. She delights in sharing his gift of art with others.
“My art is about the quiet wonder, inspiration, and joy I find in the world’s beauty. Currently I am finding my sense of joy and life in showing the wildflowers’ dance with God and trying to give a sense of their movement on the page.
“It is also about discovering the what ifs: what if there is a magical part of you that you haven’t discovered yet? What would it be like to swish pure color around on paper and realize that it actually looks like something? What if there are bits of you that just need a tender brush off and touch up to be beautiful? And then even more what ifs; what if I use this color? What if I try to paint that subject? What if it’s awesome? What if you like it too? And instantly, magically, a community that didn’t exist before that moment is created.”
When she’s not painting, she teaches music to elementary school and other students. She lives in central Texas, enjoying her purple-painted bedroom and three energetic dogs.
