Kim Vose Jones is a Fredericton-based installation artist who spent her childhood wandering the forests of Southern Ontario, building unstable treehouses on other people’s properties.
Her many eclectic and wide-ranging life experiences fuel her art practice—from working at a family-planning clinic on the Afghan-Pakistani border, to visiting snow monkeys in Jigokudani Park, Japan.
Her art research has taken her from the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, to the Ringling Circus Museum in Sarasota, Florida.
Vose Jones has exhibited in Spain, France, the United States and Canada. She is the recipient of several ArtsNB Creation Grants, the Studio Watch Emerging Artist of the Year Award from the Beaverbrook Art
Gallery (2011), and the President’s Award from Maine College of Art (2012).
She holds an MFA in Studio Art from Maine College of Art (Portland, Maine), and a BA in Women’s Studies and Religion from Concordia University (Montreal, Quebec).
Kim works as an academic researcher, curator and educator. She has worked as an MFA mentor for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and in the Fine Arts program at St. Thomas University (Fredericton, New Brunswick).
