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. 
Flip Flop Studios at Victoria Beach, where Jane and her partner both paint, is part of the Boreal Shores Art Tour, August 19 and 20, 2023.

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
