About me - Jennifer Jones
Hi there! I'm Jennifer Jones, the creative spirit and artist known as The 3rd Flamingo, straight from the vibrant city of Oklahoma City.
Growing up as the third child in a bustling family of eleven, I was always surrounded by chaos and creativity. This lively upbringing not only inspired my pseudonym but also fueled my imagination from a young age. My journey from being a real estate attorney to embracing my true passion for art was driven by a desire to find or create art that resonated with my vibrant imagination.
My artistic exploration began with a simple curiosity about the secret lives of insects. This curiosity blossomed into a broader canvas, where I now use bold, vivid colors and dynamic subjects to bring my visions to life. Whether it's playful ants, delicate butterflies, or majestic flamingos, each piece I create invites you into a whimsical world where fantasy and reality merge.
I am proud to have received various accolades for my art, such as the 'Most Original of Show' at the East Texas Yamboree for my piece 'Rockin’ Lizards'. These awards are a testament to the unique lens through which I view the world.
The playful logo of The 3rd Flamingo holds a special place in my heart, representing each of my siblings. Notably, the third flamingo, which stands upside down to form the 'J' of Jones, symbolizes my unique perspective and creative spirit.
Featured Artworks & Stories
Welcome to a curated showcase of my favorite creations, each with its own unique story and inspiration.
My journey into painting the unusual began with a simple trip to the zoo, where the playful antics of a baby aardvark caught my eye. Captivated by its energy, I knew it had to be immortalized in paint. This piece is a celebration of life's unexpected joys and the rambunctious spirit of nature.
Hidden in my closet was a background I started years ago and only rediscovered recently. Inspired by a serene image of surfboards on the sand, I imagined ants living their best life, surfing and relaxing in hammocks. This painting embodies the spirit of leisure and the art of finding relaxation in our busy lives.
Drawing inspiration from the rock and roll lifestyle of my husband's band, this artwork captures the essence of musical energy through vibrant colors and iconic rock symbols like skulls and flames. It's a visual representation of the band's dynamic sound and the passionate energy they bring to every performance.
