The paintings and prints of award winning artist Maria Reyes-Jones can be found in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.  Always versatile, Maria works in several areas of subject matter at the same time. The Palm trees of her home state of Florida were the inspiration for a group of prints and paintings based on the many moods of her favorite tree. "Scenes from the Road" are works inspired by the frequent she takes now and as a child growing up in a peripatetic military family. On a more humorous note are the prints and paintings of the "Dog and Cat Series". These were inspired by her love of animals, especially her own two dogs, Bella and Igor. There is also a body of work that is of a more personal nature. These paintings involve a layering of surface and image to create a complex and often ambiguous meaning -- she says "they have a little bit of mystery in them ­ questions left unanswered -- leaving space for the viewer to enter, and respond from their own life experience."
