Karylnn Jones

Karlynn Jones has enjoyed art in one form or another all her life. She designed and created gift baskets and packages for corporate accounts in Utah, California and Nevada for more than 25 years. She has transitioned from gift baskets to watercolor painting and now spends her time creating her artwork.

Her adventure in watercolor started when a friend talked her into taking a class with the recreation department in California. While she enjoyed the medium, it was very frustrating. However, determination won out after many courses and seminars. What was frustrating before is now pure joy. “ Just watching the magic happen when the watercolor explodes on the paper brings excitement and adventure” to her paintings. Jones focuses on the color and texture that she can achieve with watercolor. She loves painting desert landscapes, sunsets, and flowers.

She has been a Virgin Valley Artists Association member for 18 years. During this time, she has served as chairman of the reception committee, gift shop committee, gallery reset committee, exhibition and competition committee. She is a past VVAA Board of Directors member serving as an over-site chair for four years.
