  • "Picked from the Garden of Celestial Delights" was created by Jones specifically for the temporary exhibition, The Beyond: Georgia’ O’Keeffe and Contemporary Art. Patterns, repetition, and beauty coalesce in the artist’s massive compositions to create works based in nature. Her floral imagery is organic and speaks to nature, but often the flowers envisioned on the walls or canvas are not based on plants found in the natural world, but rather sprout from her imagination, combining remembered pieces of different flowers into new blossoms.
    For certain projects, such as the work in this exhibition, Jones looks to specific botanical examples for inspiration. Knowing that this show was opening in Bentonville, Arkansas, she met with Crystal Bridges Horticulturalist Cody George to learn about native species of flowers. The final work is an amalgamation of Jones’s unique vision and the natural flora of the Ozarks, including butterfly milkweed, dogwoods, and a white-lined Sphinx moth.
