Peyton Espley-Jones is an American artist and art historian based in France. Her paintings and sculptural works aim to create visual harmonies that mirror the conceptual complexities of nature, people, and experiences. Deeply referential to poetry and medieval iconography, she utilizes portraiture, still life, and landscapes to investigate themes of love, longing, and the search for the sacred.
In 2020, she earned her B.A. in Art History and Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. She then relocated to France and completed an M.A. in Art History in 2023 and an M.F.A. in Painting in 2025 at the American College of the Mediterranean. Her work has been exhibited in France and is held in private collections in both the United States and France.
