Angela Swanson Jones, daughter of art historian Vern G. Swanson, was practically raised in an art museum and followed her father around the world, visiting libraries, galleries and auction houses. She is a graduate of Brigham Young University and holds an MA from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. During her training, she gained work experience at both Sotheby's in New York and Christie's in London and is now Director of Swanson-Jones Fine Art Consulting. An avid collector and writer in her own right, her topics of research include Newlyn School painting, nineteenth- and twentieth-century religious art, and American regional art. She is currently writing a biography and catalogue raisonné on the German painter, Heinrich Hofmann (1824–1911). Jones has published with Fine Art Connoisseur and is the co-author of Desperately Young: Artists who Died in their Twenties.
