Angela (Swanson) Jones

In 1999 I began studying art history at BYU. I had couple of great summer internships at Sotheby’s New York and Christie’s London. While living at the foreign language student housing, I met Jason Jones, an engineering student from Texas, and we were married at the Salt Lake Temple in November 2001. We both graduated from BYU in 2003 and that September moved to England so I could pursue a master’s degree in art history at the University of London, Courtauld Institute of Art. We intended to stay just two years, and now more the five years later we still live in England. We have had great professional and educational opportunities which have kept us here.

After finishing my masters, our daughter Victoria was born in 2004, followed by another daughter Genevieve in 2007. And yes, Victoria does speak with a British accent. Jason completed his own master’s degree in 2007 and now he works at a university in Leicester as a research fellow. I’m a full-time mother and am working on a biography of the German painter, Heinrich Hofmann. We have loved living in England. It has been a great base for travel and indulging our passion of art and architecture. Wish we could be at the reunion. Have a great time.
