Katherine Jones RA

Katherine Jones RA’s printmaking practice encompasses a wide range of techniques that she combines to produce her distinctive paintings and prints. Her works are characterised by a particular luminosity whether it be generated by sunlight hitting water or the artificial glow from within a glasshouse. Throughout her practice, Jones has been interested in structures that historically provide shelter - but may be more fragile than first assumed. Much of her subject matter is inspired by her immediate surroundings including Brockwell Park in Brixton, the architecture of her neighbourhood in Tulse Hill, or the countryside of Wiltshire.

Katherine graduated from Camberwell College of Art in 2003. She has exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally and been the recipient of numerous awards including the London Original Print Fair Prize in 2014. She was also artist in residence at Eton College Drawing Schools in 2014; this experience was the starting point for her most recent body of work ‘We Grew the Long Bones’ which was launched by Oliver Projects with exhibitions at Eton and in London (2020). Rabley Gallery held a solo exhibition titled ‘The Iron in the Earth’ in 2021 which subsequently toured to Brixton Library gallery. In April 2022 she was elected a Royal Academician. A joint exhibition of Katherine’s work alongside Temsuyanger Longkumer’s was curated by Oliver Projects in April 2024 in collaboration with Sims Reed Gallery, London, titled ‘Drop Shadows’.

In April 2025, a solo exhibition - the artist’s first insitutional show - was presented at Gainsborough’s House in Suffolk. Katherine’s work is held in public collections including the V&A Museum, London, Guangdong Museum, China, and Boston Athenaeum, USA.

Katherine lives in south east London and was photographed above in her Brixton studio by Josie Dixon.
