She created drawings and storybooks as a young girl with art materials provided by her parents. She attended the High School of Practical Arts in Boston, winning scholarships for special classes at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which she attended after school and on Sundays. Jones began a successful career in textiles, selling her bold designs to department stores and manufacturers. She, however, quickly realized her fabrics were completely anonymous; no one would ever know she was the artist who had created them. From then on Jones focused on a career as a fine artist.
