Sally Ann Jones

Sally Ann is an acrylic and mixed media artist whose work explores the emotional and atmospheric qualities of landscapes, rooted in the rugged beauty of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the wider Welsh countryside. Her paintings evoke a sense of place that is both deeply personal and quietly universal.

Working in a semi abstract style, Sally Ann draws upon romanticism and the sublime to create landscapes that are not literal depictions but expressions of memory, mood, and internal experience.

Born in Cambridge and raised in North Wales, Sally Ann's practise is informed by early memories of family time spent immersed in the natural world. These formative experiences, combined with a fascination with artists such as JMW Turner, have shaped her approach to capturing the fleeting, intangible qualities of the landscape; shifting light, distant forms, and the silence of remote places.

Her current body of work reflects a focus on fragmentation, both visual and conceptual. Through the construction of larger compositions from smaller individual pieces, Sally Ann explores how memory and place are experienced in fragments; layered, resembled and often elusive. This methodology mirrors the way we remember landscapes, not as whole, fixed scenes, but as emotional expressions stitched together over time.

Having completed a Bachelors Degree with Honours in Fine Art at Wrexham School of Art, Sally Ann is now hoping this show will go toward her graduating with a Masters Degree in Painting.
