Colour is the raison d'etre for Anne-Marie Jones in the world of Art. Anne-Marie has been painting since 1999 when she became, and remains, a member of the Noosa Shire Arts & Crafts Association (Wallace House). Anne-Marie's internal world is all colour. She views everything in pictorial format and she is able to bring this to her canvases in her own style.

Her birthplace, the Seychelles Islands dictates Anne-Marie's need to frequently paint seascapes. Together with her life drawing skills, she has been able to marry the two into the Noosa-Scapes that she paints regularly. There she captures the iconic characters, activities and landscapes of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast where she lives.

In 2008, Anne-Marie held two solo exhibitions at "Madisson's" the popular Noosa restaurant. Otherwise, Anne-Marie is moved to paint scenes that evoke a poignant memory or emotion. Anne-Marie is self-taught although private lessons with artist Bill McKay have instilled the need for discipline, the understanding of colour and form as well as composition in the completion of a piece of work.

In recent times, Anne-Marie has been experimenting with mixed media and expressionist/abstract work. She recently worked with Metka Skrobar, Sarah Larsen and Jenni Kelly who have inspired her to think outside of the paint tube. Anne-Marie paints in both oil and acrylic mediums and the wide variety of her subject matter demonstrates her versatility.
