Jane paints to connect with and express the energy that exists within the world around her. Through color, movement, and
form, she seeks to reveal the life force present in people, objects, plants, and landscapes, allowing viewers to experience life through the language of paint. Many of her paintings begin with photographs taken during walks and explorations in natural settings. These images serve as inspiration, evolving into acrylic works that capture not only what is seen, but also what is felt.
In her narrative paintings, Jane explores thoughts, emotions, dreams, and longings, creating visual stories that invite
personal reflection and interpretation. Alongside her paintings, Jane creates intricate pen-and-ink flower drawings using an extremely fine-point pen. Each flower is drawn directly from life rather than from photographs, reflecting her close observation of nature and appreciation for its unique energy and structure.Jane’s art studio is in the NEST Arts Factory.
