The inspiration for my “noirscapes” paintings is the artificial glamour and drama of Hollywood and European film noir movies of the 1940s and 50s.  These movies used expressionist lighting and camera shots to portray the dark side of humanity - greed, lust, jealousy, paranoia, and revenge.  

I appropriate and transform the black and white publicity stills from the films by painting them in arbitrary colours, and often placing them in incongruous and sometimes bizarre settings such as mangrove swamps, caves, Egyptian tombs, rainforests, bushfires, and beaches. The resulting paintings are designed to unsettle and intrigue the viewer.  

Landlord is a painting that shows the vulnerability of women to predatory men – this has occurred throughout the ages and is especially relevant to those women who are poor, disadvantaged or have mental illness or an addiction.

My paintings are created using acrylic paints, gels and mediums and often have interesting textures and a glossy or metallic surfaces.

Jane creates a variety of retro paintings. Her “Pop Art Pulp” paintings incorporate images from the covers of cheap popular magazines of the 1930s to 50s that were designed to titillate and excite their audiences. These covers used an illustrative or comic book style. Often Jane places the scared or startled cover model into an incongruous or surreal background. In Jane's "Wild West" paintings she appropriates movie stills of actors from classic Hollywood western movies of the 1940s and 50s and places the gun-toting protagonists in arid but beautiful desert landscapes. The mythology of the Wild West is based on the tough, self-reliant person who survives as best they can in the harsh and lawless frontier. Jane's "Hollywood Glamour" paintings use photos of glamourous Hollywood stars and place them against an exotic background. Her "Fairytale" paintings hark back to the traditional fairytales and myths that we all grew up on, and present them with a new twist. Jane's paintings capitalise on the vibrant clean colours and glossy nature of acrylic paints and gels, and subtly incorporate iridescent metallics and bright interference paints. In the past decade Jane has sold hundreds of paintings worldwide, been a finalist in many art competitions, and exhibited in major Brisbane and Gold Coast galleries.
