Jeffrey Catherine Jones January 10, 1944 – May 19, 2011
While I have admired Jones work for years (all the fantasy book covers) I knew nothing about him/her. Very intriguing person with a great amount of talent. Thought I better post a bit of her art here-just like I did last year for Frazetta and Friberg.

Wow. What beautiful work. Thank you for sharing this.
You're more than welcome Melissa.
Very powerful, very moving and emotional art. No flowers in a transparent vase there. Interesting name the artist had, too. Did he or she work under a pseudonym depending on the work?
Nope Debra, apparently (and I only just found this out) Jeff became a woman back in the 98.
In a world where Frazetta ruled, Jones was at least a noble. There was definitely a different sensibility about it, the tortured artist at work perhaps. I really liked all this work and have most of these on book covers.
Charles, yeah my wife wasn't familiar with the name and I had but to pull out several novels on the bookstand on my side of the bed to go, "Here's a Jones, here's a Jones, here's another..."
