Jane is a watercolour artist. Her painting style is representational and illustrative, inspired always by the effects of light and shade on people, places and objects. She enjoys the transparency of watercolour and the constant learning provided by this challenging medium. She enjoys plein air sketching and painting to plan a composition when possible, and uses photgraphy to provide extra reference material for more considered studio painting later.
She exhibited with Network Arts and in 2020 was awarded the Highly Commended prize for her painting, Feed the Birds, in the Autumn Equinox exhibition at Rooftop Arts in Corby. In 2022 her painting, St Giles Cheese Shop, won Best in Show at their exhibition at 78 Derngate, Northampton . She joined Kettering & District Art Society in 2019 and regularly exhibits paintings and prints at the ARTworks Creative Space in Kettering. In the KDAS 116th Summer Exhibition in 2021 Jane was awarded the Boyces Choice prize for her painting, A Place In The Sun. She was also a prize winner at the NOS Central Exhibition at Lamport Hall in 2022.
