Rachel Jones is a Portland Oregon based artist and received her BFA in Painting from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2007. She has worked consistently over the years, showing at local spots throughout Portland.

Rachel works quickly and with a sense of urgency, hoping to keep the mark making active and therefore true to her emotions. While her imagery can be dark, there’s always a bit of humor hidden beneath it. Her current body of work explores the idea of “putting on a happy face'‘ and people pleasing, employing the happy face emoji as a commonly used symbol.
