Katherine Jones RA
Royal Academician Katherine Jones is a British artist whose limited edition prints and paintings explore perceptions of refuge and danger, using archetypal motifs such a house, a flower, or the sun. Her imagery - which is characterised by a particular luminosity - is often created through unique combinations of traditional printmaking processes.
Much of Katherine’s subject matter is inspired by her immediate surroundings including the urban architecture of her home in South East London, as well as the rural landscapes of Suffolk, Wiltshire and Pembrokeshire. Mythology and literature are also important influences, contributing to an exploration of – in her words - ‘disparate narratives in hyper-real or folkloric spaces.’
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.
In April 2025, a solo exhibition titled ‘Fine Ladies and Gentle Men’ - the artist’s first institutional show - was presented at Gainsborough’s House in Suffolk, alongside a residency. Other notable solo exhibitions have included ‘Bright New’ at Rabley Gallery, Wiltshire, in 2024 and ‘We Grew the Long Bones’ at Eton College, Windsor, in 2020. Selected group exhibitions include ‘Flowers for You’, Keepers House, Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 2026 and ‘Hockney to Himid’: 60 Years of British Printmaking’, Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, in 2013. Artistic residencies have included Aspinwall Editions, New York in 2025 and Kloster Bentlage, Germany in 2023.
In April 2022 Katherine was elected a Royal Academician. Her work is held in significant public collections across the world including the V&A Museum’s Prints and Drawings Collection, The Ashmolean Museum, Yale University Library and The House of Lords Collection. Katherine has taught widely throughout her career at universities and colleges across the UK and Europe. She lives in South East London.
We are looking forward to presenting a solo exhibition of new work by Katherine Jones titled There Will Be Years Ahead of Now in September 2026. Register your interest.
