Jane Akin

Drawn to the Caribbean for its vivid colors, culture, sea life and flora, Jane Akin moved to St. Croix in 1998 to enjoy painting full time and living the island life. Jane received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of North Texas where she fine tuned her knowledge of the arts. Working both as an artist and Interior Designer has given her the insight and expertise in all mediums of art.

Jane’s watercolors depict larger than life flora, fauna, sea life and landscapes, enabling you to appreciate their beauty up close and personal. Jane’s subjects are as varied as are her interests in life. Architecture, tropical flora, fauna, and sea life are among her favorite subjects. 

Jane lives a continual quest to explore and experiment with new methods & mediums. Adding to her already extensive arsenal of artistic techniques is her work with resin, collage and mixed media. Jane has impressively mastered these mediums with her natural given talent.

The opportunity to teach and inspire others naturally emerged. Jane offers instruction in water color, acrylics and oil painting for all skill levels as well as color theory. Jane is the resident artist for the Buccaneer Resort on St. Croix.

Her paintings can be found in private collections in the Caribbean, Europe and in the United States mainland.
