Kittie Jones

Kittie Jones is an artist based in Edinburgh. She graduated from Edinburgh College of Art and Edinburgh University in 2008; she currently works from her studio at Coburg House Art Studios in Leith and regularly exhibits around the UK.

Kittie was elected as a professional member of the Society of Wildlife Artists in 2016 and has been a professional member of Visual Arts Scotland since 2013. Kittie has won a number of awards for her work, most recently she was awarded the William J Macaulay / Scottish Gallery Award for her piece Gannets over the Atlantic at the Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition 2021. Her monotype Feeding Curlew was awarded the RSPB Award at the Natural Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London in 2018. 

Kittie's practice focuses on drawing and printmaking – she produces mixed media drawings on paper out in the landscape, unique multi-layered monotypes and small edition screen prints. Kittie is inspired by the full sensory experience of time spent outdoors, most often along the East coast of Scotland. Much of her work is completed outside and other sketches provide a starting point for prints and studio drawings.
