About:

Born in Hull, UK, 1985.

Jane works using an indirect method in which the paintings are built up in thin layers on smooth wooden panels, gradually deepening colour and refining detail. The layers of oil paint remain semi-transparent, creating extra depth and luminosity within the surface.

The timeless themes of love, beauty, death and decay run through her paintings. Each piece is a labour of love, taking months to complete, and focusing on personal subjects in her life and surroundings. Her primary influences include the highly detailed paintings of the European masters; Van Eyck, Dürer and Holbein, as well as the atmospheric and mysterious worlds of Vermeer and Hammershøi.

Jane’s work is included in many private collections internationally, and has been shown in galleries and exhibitions throughout the UK and USA, including the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.
