the ARTiSTS
max  jones
Max Jones (co-owner of Jones Walker) is a Dallas-based abstract artist who uses
thin layers of acrylic paint to create a blended array of color.  Max's paintings are
meant to evoke a feeling or mood rather than to represent abstract imagery.  
Max's work is featured in several residential and commercial spaces in Dallas
including The West Village, Mockingbird Station and Republic Tower in
downtown. Most recently, Max was commissioned to create two collections to
be featured on Levels 17 and 21 of Gables Park 17 in Uptown Dallas. His work has
also been published in D Home magazine, Paper City, the Dallas Observer, and
the Dallas Voice.  Paintings are available for sale at the Jones Walker Showroom
and Gallery in Dallas and Bering Art Collective in Houston.

matt  kaplinsky
Matt Kaplinsky is an artist who creates Abtracts in mixed media, oils, and
encaustic.  It’s not unusual for the people of Dallas, Texas, to see a paint-
smudged bald guy in torn flannel picking over construction waste piles, or
cruising from plant nurseries to paint stores in a beaten black pickup called
“Big Thirsty”. When someone catches Matt in his studio painting (Matt likes
to work undisturbed generally), it is clear that Matt paints with focus and
determination as though on the verge of discovery. Despite an education
in the facts and science of Biology, Matt is clearly a dreamer who best
communicates his thoughts and feelings by freezing them in time on
canvas, board, and a variety of other materials.

blakely bering
Blakely’s work reflects her theatrical sense and the action of her
creation remains powerful from thirty feet away. Her emotional
abstractions are playful, serious, and dramatic. She has been noted as
a colorist for her intricate rich layers of oil on panel.

whole life but has been making waves in the Dallas art scene for the last several

greg  piazza
born some day, 1979 in houma, louisiana. g piazza was gifted with a creative
mind and natural sense of viewing the world in his own unique way. this gift has
helped him to create a multitude of great art you can relate to.

"I have always been an artistic and imaginative person. I am adventuresome
and rarely won't try something new. i was blessed with the gift to create and
figure out my own methods. this has helped me to create works that do not
follow a 'category' of art. i believe art is a natural motion and a thought
triggered by emotions. one may learn to mix a color wheel, but the true
expression brought to canvas comes by natural instinct and view. be original, be
true, paint what you feel and you'll see yourself." g. piazza
amy  werntz
Amy Werntz was born in Springfield, MO, but has spent the past two decades in Texas. She
grew up in a family of artists which was both inspirational and intimidating; the talent
constantly surrounding her helped refine her abilities. Amy’s love for classical design and
styling is constantly drawing her to the high contrast found in black and white imagery.
Through her paintings she is able to bring this contrast to life with the mix of vibrant colors,
and the juxtaposition of the textures of the stained wood, or various papers her paintings
are created on. Amy received her BFA in interior design at the Art Institute of Dallas. She
currently practices interior design and resides in Dallas, painting in her free time.
