Michael D. Jones is a Williamsburg-based artist who has been painting for over ten years. When he first started painting, people found his work to be whimsical, magical, with bold uses of color, so he made it his mission to provide art that uplifts people, inspires them, and brings joy, happiness, and just a bit of magic.
To fulfill that mission, he created Magic Bear Art. He works mainly in acrylics on canvas, taking his inspiration from things he sees every day. Michael hopes that through his artwork you find happiness, joy, and inspiration for your own life.
Michael currently works as the Art Center Manager for the Williamsburg Contemporary Art Center in Williamsburg, VA. His work has been featured in the September 2022 edition of Williamsburg’s Next Door Neighbor magazine, Artistonish magazine, and The Asset Times.
He is a member of the Williamsburg Contemporary Art Center, the Williamsburg Artists Group – WAG, and the Williamsburg Arts Council. His paintings have been juried into shows at the Virginia Beach Art Center, the Williamsburg Contemporary Art Center, Bay School Community Art Center, RAL Art Center, the Charles H. Taylor Visual Arts Center, and the “Color Theory: The Richmond Queer Art Experience” at ArtWorks RVA.
