Jane has studios on the Assiniboine River (Winnipeg, Manitoba) and also on Lake Winnipeg (Victoria Beach, Manitoba). Her art is large and small, and as eclectic as the media she uses.....oil & cold wax, acrylics, resists & collage done on paper, canvas, or wood panels.
Archetypal images and abstraction intrigue her as pathways to deeper understandings.
In 2016-17 she began a project called "Daily Diaries". She painted 4 small works each day of what she saw, heard and felt by the water and land near her studio. The powerful water, calm and turbulent, freezing and melting, is a great teacher about the seasons of life, death and renewal. Animals, insects, birds and plants have things to say, alive on the earth as we are, but in their own world, mysterious and intriguing.
This fall (2018) she has begun the "Daily Diaries" for a second time, still delighted and surprised by what the land and the animals near the water bring to each new day.
"Rover and Other Random Thoughts" is a second body of work she is completing. It's a silly and serious exploration of the "wild animal" who lives in our home, the delightful and mystifying creature we give human attributes to, and yet know we never will fully understand.
Jane completed her BScHEc, and then majored in art in her 1978 BEd degree. Her paintings are in private collections, businesses and government offices in Canada and Europe.
In August, 2019, Jane will be part of the Boreal Shores Art Tour at Victoria Beach, MB.
Boreal Shores Art Tour – a free, road-trip worthy, self-guided art tour, featuring artist studios, artist group locations and galleries scattered throughout the beautiful and diverse Boreal forest and shore regions of Eastern Manitoba.
