David Lawrence Jones
From: http://www.uwyo.edu/art/faculty-and-staff/david-jones.html
David Jones, originally from Augusta, Georgia, received his BFA in sculpture from the University of Georgia in 2000. For the following year he resided in Birmingham, Alabama where he worked in the Sloss Metal Arts Artist-in-Residency program casting iron before going on to pursue his masters degree. In 2004 he received his MFA in sculpture from the University of Tennessee. After graduate school, he moved to the Rocky Mountain West in Laramie, Wyoming.
The western landscape has proved to be a significant influence that has surfaced in the aesthetic and themes of Jones’s work over the last seventeen years. This influence has helped to form three distinct bodies of work that defines his studio process. In addition to working in the studio, Jones has began to expand his creative process to working outdoors in sites such as the Center for Land Use Interpretation in Wendover UT, and the Red Desert region in southern Wyoming. David actively exhibits nationally, but more prominently throughout the intermountain west in cities such as Denver, Colorado and Santa Fe, New Mexico. David is currently on faculty in the Visual Art Department at the University of Wyoming as an Instructional Art Technician.
