Most recently Jane completed a commission for a new commercial building that is 7' x 7'! " I have built my process and materials on what I have learned and explored over the decades." Jane has worked 3 dimensionally in found objects, clay and sculptural stained glass as well as 2-dimensionally in drawing, painting and groundbreaking digital media. She now mixes all of that experience into rich visual stories about things she is passionate about. “Being a creative requires being somewhat fearless. Unafraid to make something new and so different no one understands what it is.” Jane was taught by John Mandel and influenced by Douglas Huebler and John Baldessari, all at Cal Arts, to never repeat what has been done, to do new art. Arthur Turner at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, taught her to try multiple mediums, to keep the creative ideas flowing. Her new studio is in Stuart, Florida. Primarily a painter, Jane also likes to use a varied mixture of pencil, charcoal, acrylics, latex, glazes, inks, watercolor and digital. Her newest works are represented in the Reflection, Erosion and Alchemy series. She has been painting moving water for decades using various media. She feels these current paintings are the closest she has come to eliciting the paint to tell her story. She is a licensed boat captain and lived on a boat on a boat with her husband and their dog. They have settled in Stuart where she now has a beautiful studio. Jane is inspired each day by what swims, floats or sails by. She has a profound respect for water. She watches how the water moves, how it sculpts shorelines as well as deposits sand or takes it away. “I am passionate about the planet, especially the ocean, rivers and bays. I have a profound respect for the power of water and wind.”
