About jANE
 

Following fifteen years in the fashion industry, designing and curating both clothing and interiors, Jane is now painting.

‘My work represents my physical and emotional response to places I have been and things I have seen, maybe yesterday or years ago.  I seldom work from a sketch as Louise Balaam, who taught me to paint in oils, insisted that… we go out and sketch, then shut the sketchbook and paint. I have had to work hard to stop my design eye coming into a painting too early as it stops my freedom of movement and expression and although I may choose a palette to work from I will also limit the number of colours to avoid my default mode of matching, as with fashion.  However, my preference is tonal, as you will see from this current work.’
