Jane has studios on the Assiniboine River (Winnipeg, MB) and also on Lake Winnipeg (Victoria Beach, MB). 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.
Jane loves to take the images she sees and abstract them, slightly or completely, trying to capture the essence of the subject and the way it makes her feel.
Painting near the lake and the river connects Jane to the changing seasons. The powerful water, calm and turbulent, freezing and melting, is a great teacher about birth, life, death and renewal. Animals, insects, birds and trees have things to say, alive on this earth as we are, but in their own world, mysterious and intriguing.
In 2022 Jane had a solo show at the MHC Gallery in Winnipeg, participated in the Manitoba Society of Artists Juried Show in Winnipeg and also the Boreal Shores Art Tour at her cottage studio at Victoria Beach.
2023 begins with a Manitoba Society of Artists show at the Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall's Piano Nobile, then the annual Boreal Shores Art Tour at Victoria Beach in August, then a solo show at SOUL Gallery in Winnipeg in November.
Jane completed her BScHEc, then majored in art in her 1978 BEd degree. Her paintings are in private collections, businesses and government offices in Canada and Europe
