Artist Sze JOnes BIo
My name is Sze (“Z”) Jones, I am a first generation Chinese American artist residing in Las Vegas. My art journey started at an early age when my Mother taught me calligraphy using a bamboo brush.
I am a professional artist specializes in Floral Painting, Character Customization, Portrait Sculpting, Costume Design, and Artisan Jewelry. My education Credential includes Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and Master of Arts Degree in Computer Graphics (MA).
My intension is to bring inner peace, strength and beauty and enhances the energy of our minds and spirits through art.
I enjoy teaching themed workshops and sharing the joy of creating art with the community.
Thank you for giving me strength, supports and encouragements daily. I hope to continue my art journey alongside with my supporters.
