This is the first major solo show in the UK for Ms Jones who first began as a mural artist and has since enjoyed a career painting for private clients over the last three decades.

Spurred by challenges facing her family in 2018, Ms Jones put pen to paper and began to draw.

In the years since she has amassed a graphic series of ink works, earning herself a place as one of the most highly esteemed artists in Oxfordshire.

Citing Henry Moore, Rodin and contemporary sculptors as her inspiration, her work echoes the simple patterns and shapes found in nature.

Ms Jones also draws on figurative elements from yoga and contemporary dance. 

The 'Art of Line' exhibition is running until Wednesday, September 6 and admission is free with any valid Blenheim Palace ticket. 

The UNESCO World Heritage Site is offering a 30 per cent discount on tickets to the palace via public transport, bicycle or a fully electric car.
