Jones adds, “the pieces with the Asian like faces are inspired by the feminine, graceful,
and romantic scenes of the Ukiyo-E period of Japanese art. The piece, “Unmentionables”,
has different faces, all expressions of surprise, serenity, wonder, and ecstasy. On the back
of the piece there are hidden hand cut flowers, roller printed leaf patterns, and scenes of
paired lovers. Ukiyo-E, or images of the floating world, were representations of the
everyday life of Japan in the 16th through the 19th centuries. This piece brings together
my own interest in the expressive power of faces, while exploring the serenity and grace
of the everyday in my own time.”

Also exhibiting at the Dolphin Gallery is Liam Ericson. His works will be displayed under
the heading of “Lost Leader.” Known to many on the Mendonoma Coast as an artist and
naturalist, Ericson continues to be inspired by the natural environment of the beautiful
lands in coastal Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.
