“Believing color is a universal language, I consider myself a colorist. The focus of my painting is the relationship of color and energy. Each viewer brings their own meaning to the colors in my paintings. With energy as my primary interest, I explore other areas that have energy as a focus…Much of today’s art reflects the dark and pessimistic nature of our world. I believe art can be a positive force, helping to raise the viewer to a higher emotional level by providing that positive energy and focus.”

When viewing Kaunitz Jones’s work I was immediately drawn to the bright bursts of color, using complementary colors purple and yellow, Kaunitz Jones draws the eye in and all around the canvas. She also uses very expressive line to convey energy and emotion that keeps the viewer interested. I also loved her use of red and blue to add interest and to convey the bursting of energy. Overall, I can agree with Kaunitz Jones that the painting gives off a positive vibe, but also moody and sporadic.

Kaunitz Jones is a world traveler and educator and currently resides in Midland.
