Collection: Trudy Jones

Oil painting is something Eastern Shore artist Trudy Jones has been doing since her early teens when her parents caved to her begging and enrolled her in private art lessons and later in the 1960s when she attended RPI (currently VCU) in Richmond, Virginia where she studied under the late James Bumgardner. It was many years and career choices later however, that Trudy came back to her life passion as a painter.
Trudy is a member of The Artists Gallery in Virginia Beach, Virginia where she continues to study under Tom Murphy, an exceptional Norfolk artist. Additionally, she has studied with Kyle Buckland, Nancy Tankersley and Nicole Kennedy. From landscape to figures to abstract expression, and plein-air to studio painting Trudy continues to find and express inspiration in her work.
Trudy has won numerous regional and local awards. She is currently represented in the Local-ISH Gallery in Cape Charles, Virginia. Trudy lives and paints from her home studio outside of Cape Charles Virginia
“Art should elevate the everyday and ordinary and allow us to see beauty that might otherwise be missed. To work as an artist is one of the greatest gifts I enjoy in life.”
