Kenneth Jones is an Associate Professor of Art at Harford Community College in Bel Air, Maryland and an award winning visual artist.  Jones' teaching career spans fifteen years and includes years of professional experience as a graphic designer, commercial photographer and sculptor in Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore and Delaware. 


Before arriving at HCC in 2000, Jones taught at the University of
Delaware, Rutgers University, Delaware County Community College and the Delaware College of Art & Design.   Jones serves on the Curriculum Advisory Board of the Santa Fe Center of Photography in New Mexico and was a recent featured portfolio reviewer at the Society of Photographic Education Regional Conference at George Mason University, as well as a presenter at their National Conference, which featured his large format ink-jet plots, “The Art of Resuscitation”.  Jones' work surrounds conceptual projects related to imaging, commerce and collecting that organize and criticize both found and marketed objects into installations and performance. 
His recent printmaking projects examine the structure of the picture by modifying and reinventing the devices and machines we use to make them.   Jones teaches courses in digital arts, photography and graphic design.


Professor Jones has exhibited his work internationally in more than 60 solo and group shows over the last twenty years.  Recently, he was awarded a 2006 Established Visual Arts Fellowship from the Delaware State Arts Council, a 2004 Cultural Exchange Printmaking Residency to Mexico, and a 2003 Creative Fellowship in Printmaking through the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and the Rutgers Center for Innovative Print & Paper.  His recent solo exhibition, "The Disconnected Dislocation Dilemma," at the Print Center in Philadelphia, visually examined the fractured social landscape of family relationships within the screen-based methods of organizing, archiving and imaging them.



Jones holds both the Masters of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Arts and Science degrees from the University of Delaware and has completed post-graduate work at SUNY Brockport  at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY as well as the On-Course Professional Teaching Workshop at the Bon Secours Retreat Center in Marriottsville, MD.  He also recently attended the AIGA Schools of Thought 3 Design Education Conference at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.
