ARTIST PROFILE
Rachel Jones is a fine art landscape photographer located on Cape Cod. Her photography shows the haunting beauty of Cape Cod, as well as its fragility. The area’s ecosystems are currently under heightened threat from over development and effects of the heating planet. These photos are a tribute to what we have now, and an invitation to do what we can to preserve it.
The camera allows Rachel to explore photographic art in creative ways to emphasize movement and continual change. The intention behind the work is guided by the concept of equivalence as was practiced by Minor White. The hope is the emotions experienced when photographing amidst nature are expressed in the photograph, and are shared with the viewers’ own experience. Through this gateway she is discovering a sense of quiet contentment that helps retrieve clarity amidst turbulence.
Rachel Jones was born in Utica, N.Y. to a small immigrant family of holocaust survivors, tilting her sensibility toward social justice. She lived most of her life in the NYC area, then moved to New England. With decades of experience as a nurse particularly during the AIDS pandemic and engaging in research and practice of HIV prevention among women, her return to photography was like meeting a long-lost friend. Rachel is a juried fine art photographer at the Cape Cod Art Center and has exhibited there as well as in other locations. Please contact Rachel if interested in a photograph.
