Jolene Dames is a traveler, filmmaker, painter, and storyteller. She has been exploring the world for the past two decades, visiting all 50 states and over 15 countries. Her filmmaking career has included working on some of the biggest movies and television shows, such as The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, Jack Reacher, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and Sweet Girl.

Dames has been painting since she was a child, mostly from photos she has taken while traveling. Her paintings are large-scale and she specializes in both her own designs and client-provided renderings. She has used her hands-on experience as a scenic artist for film, television, and theater to refine her painting style.

Writing almost as long as she's been painting, Dames has documented her travels and experiences on her blog, Red On the Road. For those looking for unique and beautiful pieces of art, Dames offers prints for home and office decor.
