Jeffrey Catherine Jones (1944–2011) was an American illustrator and painter who made a distinctive mark on 1970s fantasy art through her intimate, painterly approach. She created over a hundred covers and worked in comics, while also being part of The Studio, a group of artists who sought to expand the boundaries of comics by bringing them closer to classical painting.
