Artist BIO
Craig Jones
Craig Jones is an artist currently living in the Bon Air neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. He came to RVA in 2017 via his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. He started drawing when he was 6 years old and has used his creativity to carry him through a variety of difficult challenges. Craig is a self-taught graphite artist and is always learning and developing. Most recently, Craig has added charcoal and/or acrylic paint to a few of his drawings.
Though Craig has suffered terrible things in his life, his faith in God and the ability to create art has moved him forward in the healing process. Craig enjoys the variety of thoughtful conversations and discussions that are encouraged by his artwork. There are pieces that represent Craig’s personal growth, and he inspires others with his story. The pieces of prominent figures also spark lively discussions.
