Pier Fishing SOLD Painting

Jane has immersed herself in the arts since her youth in Memphis, Tennessee. Her background performing in musical theater and opera led to a scholarship and a BA from Rollins College. Later she studied opera in Rome, Italy, where her interest in the visual arts began to take hold. Her love of music continues as the music guides her and she often finds elements that surprise her in her works.  She uses the music which fills her studio to inform her paintings by transferring the feeling in the music onto the canvas.  She is a self-taught artist and many individualized techniques have been born by Jane that enhance the uniqueness of each canvas.   The final product reflects her love of color.  She began her journey with the brush but now relies mostly on the pallet knife in order to achieve multiple layers on to the canvas and add a richness to her paintings. Jane's artistic influences are Marc Rothco, Henri Matisse, Hans Hoffman, and Nicholas de Stael.
