The frame is the art for Roxbury artist Nygel Jones
Roxbury local Nygel Jones first held a fresh piece of wood at age 5. The young artist would follow his carpenter father around a job site, learning how to cut with the grain, make precise measurements and shape the wood to fit perfectly in each joint. Years later, this craftsmanship has become the cornerstone of Jones’ unique artistic style, one where the frame is the artwork.
