Kaitlyn Jones

Kaitlyn Jones is a Diné artist from New Mexico. Now attending the Institute of American Indian Arts, she is entering her junior year and is excited to continue her studies as a BFA major with a focus on painting. She just completed her first year as a counselor at the Oscar Howe Summer Art Institute after attending the program three years previously as a student. After graduating, Kaitlyn plans to pursue her MFA so she can begin teaching a younger generation of artists on her reservation and create more community art. Her own work focuses on combing aspects of her contemporary Indigenous identity with the past in hopes of better representing her peers.
