Having traveled to more than 30 countries worldwide, Charlie Jones channels in his paintings inspirations derived from diverse cultures, customs, colors, and textures experienced through his travels. He paints with layers of vivid color combinations, energetic textures, and dynamic compositions rich with bold and subtle transitions, taking the viewer on an abstract journey.
“I’ve been very fortunate to have seen so much of the world. In my paintings, I attempt to relive those experiences through the process of abstract expression while delving into the unknown of my subconscious, which will remain forever impacted by those travels and adventures."
As an emerging artist, paintings from Jones’ debut exhibits in 2002 quickly landed in homes in Washington, D.C., Virginia, California, New York City, London, and the United States Capitol Building.
A resident of Washington, D.C., Charlie is a member of the MidCityArtists, a diverse and talented group of nearly 40 professional artists who have come together for the purpose of promoting their art, in the Dupont/Logan neighborhoods they call home.
Charlie is also an active community volunteer involved in corporate fundraising for area charities and has donated paintings for auction to HRC, Food & Friends, and The American Cancer Society. He’s a Member of the Board of Directors for Rehabilitation Opportunities, Inc., a full service piecework business providing mentally handicapped adults with vocational skills.
