KLARA JONES is a Gippsland based artist working across several media to best describe the image to tell a story. She holds a fascination with people, portraiture, culture and storytelling, and in this exhibition, she is drawing on her Hungarian heritage to highlight stories from that country. 

Klara attended Fulham TAFE in 1996, studying visual arts but since then, has never stopped learning and honing her skills.
