Buy one of my earlier art works!
If you are very attracted to this piece, it's always a good idea to buy! Why?
COLLECTING ART: The purchase of original art from an unheralded artist is a very smart investment! You obtain art at an unbelievable price compared to prices a gallery commands. Think about collector Gertrude Stein. She bought many artworks by Picasso and Matisse, when both were not yet famous and when their art was not expensive. Keep in mind that the value of art is never fixed, but will only increase

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Kristi Jones was named after Howard Chandler Christy, who was a 20th century illustrator and distant relative. Kristi is also the 5th cousin to Clyde Dixon Connell, one of Louisianas most famous female artists. Kristi developed an innate artistic ability from being raised by artistic parents, both of whom obtained art degrees. Her family home had an art studio, and her father, a wildlife artist, has placed (numerous times) in the top tenth percentile in state and federal duck stamp art contests. Her mother sold artwork at a local gallery.
Kristi was President of the Art Club her Senior year of High School. She later studied art at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts (NOAFA), and is also self-taught. She created mosaics while residing in New Orleans. She later sold her tropical jewelry designs at the Red River Revel and other festivals for several years.
Recently, she has turned to painting, and has sold work both locally and nationally. She has exhibited in shows and galleries in northwest Caddo Parish, including Centenary Colleges Meadows Museum of Art and Centenarys Magale Library, Smith Mason Legacies Gallery, Norsworthy Gallery, and Artspace in downtown Shreveport. She has exhibited in Jokies's Gallery in Natchitoches and in the New Zone Gallery in Eugene, Oregon.
In December 2011, Kristi was awarded a visual arts grant from the Shreveport Regional Arts Council (SRAC), and became a Juried Roster Artist in 2012. In 2015, she was commissioned to create 29 paintings for the new University Medical Center of New Orleans. She is a member of Louisiana Artists, Inc.
