Jane Moorhouse

Artist and Photographer, based in Central London.

Over the last few years, I have painted portraits for King's College London and Rhodes House Oxford and my work is featured in private collections in Europe, America and Australia.

In 2011, my portrait of Ailsa Fairleigh was selected for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London.

My most recent project involves painting people I admire, who truly have a passion for what they do and who in some instances have had a significant impact on my life. The portrait I painted of Bernard Purdie - the world's most recorded drummer (who played on most of the music I grew up listening to - Aretha Franklin's records in particular) is the first in this series and the portrait of my father, Peter Moorhouse, is the most recent addition.

In a sense, I'm aiming at producing a body of work which will turn out to be my own self portrait.
