Ann’s Background

Ann Jones-Weinstock is a mixed-media artist living in Middlebury, Vermont. She is married to a poet and is the mother of two sons.

Raised in Ohio, Ann was inspired by her father, a master woodworker and multigenerational Vermonter, and her mother, a visual artist working in pencil and watercolor. As a teenager, she studied art history at the Cleveland Museum of Art, where her enduring love of art took root. She holds a liberal arts degree from Middlebury College and a master’s degree in communications from Boston University. In her early career, Ann worked at small creative firms doing writing, multi-image production, and graphic paste-up, honing skills she’d later use in her art.

Ann’s art explores the evolving life and transformation of ordinary things. Working primarily with paper, natural, and found materials, Ann assembles sculptures that juxtapose shape, texture, and negative space. She creates images of trees by taping down sticks and applying layers of spray paint around them. Her cut-paper pieces draw on elements of the natural world, such as leaves, flowers, seed pods, and shells, and the Vermont landscape.

Ann began showing her art publicly in 2024. Her work is installed at the University of Vermont Medical Center as part of their permanent collection and has been shown in multiple exhibitions nationally.
