About

Jane says:

My art is the stuff of dreams.

I explore the world of fantasy with the

finest details played out on canvas.

Like actors in wonderful dramas,

sailors, musicians, young love, and the like

play out their stories on a flat stage

in settings that are as decorative

as their costumes.

I use gouache on paper and sometime a sprinkling of gold leaf. I have chosen to reproduce my originals using a process called giclee. The quality always astonishes me and to make each limited print my own again, I retouch it with gold and white. A growing range of cards and limited editions are available on this website.
