About

Best known for her sweeping interpretations of landscapes and clouds, Jane also paints abstracts, flowers and birds. The common thread is evoking a sense of calm.
The work is about capturing moments. It could be a beach that she knows well, or the view from her daily country walk. Images may be based on a fleeting memory or a place that is visited over and over, each time seeing something different.
Jane aims to capture the essence of the place and the feeling that makes its special, maybe the sweep of the shore or curve of a field.
The still life and bird paintings are about simple everyday memories; wild flowers picked on the morning walk, simply placed in a jam jar, or a bird visiting the bird table. This often overlooked beauty is given focus so that it can be enjoyed again and again.
Jane has exhibited work at the Royal College of Art, The Royal Society of Marine Artists and Glyndebourne Opera house in East Sussex. In 2017 Jane undertook a large commission for the WWF on the subject of climate change which was exhibited at the Houses of Parliament. In 2023 Jane won the Artist’s Open Studios prize for Berkshire.
Jane's work is regularly exhibited at art fairs in London and New York, including the Affordable Art Fair and the London Art Fair and her abstract works are exclusive to Box Galleries in London.
