Louise Jones
Louise Jones (neé Chen) is a second-generation Chinese American, born in Los Angeles in 1988. Her artistic practice centers around painting, while her background is in drawing and printmaking at UCSC. Her work first gained recognition after moving to Detroit in 2014, where she began painting murals of flowers, subject matter often chosen for their symbolism regionally, culturally and historically. To date, her murals and paintings have been displayed in museums and public spaces, including the AKG Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Detroit Institute for the Arts, Dennos Museum, Henry Ford Cancer Pavilion, University of Michigan Museum of Art, New Britain Museum of American Art, the North Carolina Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
