An artist and filmmaker, Gwen has been using fabric to create her artwork for 30 years. Her art quilts are colorful and spiritual, reflecting a love of nature and organic patterns. After retiring from a career as a medical librarian, Gwen now works full time in her Bridgman studio, surrounded by the beauty of the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Gwen’s late husband Peter Jones held an MFA from Northern Illinois University and taught at the College of DuPage and Loyola University in Chicago. Working primarily in art photography, he also ran the Peter Jones Gallery which had a figure drawing workshop, a darkroom and a Black Box theater, before retiring in Southwest Michigan and working out of his studio at the Box Factory for the Arts in St. Joseph. Peter passed in August 2024, leaving behind an incredible legacy and achievement in the arts.
