JONES

An independent arts researcher and writer, Dr Susan Jones holds specialist knowledge and insight about the social and political environment for artists and contemporary visual arts... In her role as mentor, advisor, critical friend or coach to individual artists and artists' initiatives, her starting point is to understand artists' motivations, social circumstances and human needs. Artists she's worked with describe her as warm and approachable, as putting their needs uppermost and being good at helping them to reflect, unpick, explore and resolve difficulties in life and career planning and in the execution of their art practices... Evidence-based commentary on the complex, fraught relationship between artists practices and livelihoods, arts policy and arts infrastructures.
