Jane has studios in Winnipeg and Victoria Beach, Manitoba. Her art is eclectic as is the media she uses....cold wax and oil, acrylics on canvas and paper, resists and collage. Archetypal images and abstraction intrigue her as pathways to deeper understandings.

For the past few years she has been exploring life stages, using the metaphor of houses to describe people. Both buildings and people have an outer view, and an inner story that may be entirely different.

In October 2016 she started painting a daily (well, most days but not every, to be honest!) diary of what she sees, hears and feels either by the Assiniboine River or Lake Winnipeg. The powerful water, both calm and turbulent, freezing and melting, is a great metaphor for 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. 

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.
