Watching Paint Fall, 2017

13 Artworks

View
As an artist I have two intensely personal relationships with the paint that falls onto my canvas, wood, panel, or paper. The first is with COLOR. Color drives my passion to paint in the loose, rapid, style of abstract expressionism, creating paint saturations that are uneven and drippy. The other is in watching how paint falls in spontaneous movement, mesmerizing my mind and soul and inviting me into a quiet, unprescribed moment in time where I am free to be me. Daily inspiration comes from female abstract artists, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, and others who dared to paint in their own pioneering style.

Wax & Wane, 2017

wax layer  build grow beacon harvest balancing reflection and introspection reveal glow begin scrape deconstruct wane In this new series, "wax & wane", I challenged myself by limiting color and creating shapes, lines, and textures only using black, white, gold, and silver.  The subject matter is found within the 8 phases of the moon as well as the symbolic and emotional relationship between humans and the Moon's lunar effects.  Cycles of waxing and waning flow through our lives creating moments of action and energy yet they are balanced by times of rest and reflection.  My process of encaustic painting also becomes an organic cycle of layering beeswax and then scraping away at the surface to reveal translucent surfaces.  Creating harmony between all of the elements is where balance and beauty exist.

Way Of Water, 2023

16 Artworks

Exploring the dynamics of land, sky, and water elements in a landscape in transition is the focus of my current work. As these elemental agents of change reshape the earth in real time, so do my paintings and pastel drawings imagine a new reality. I use soft blues and greens to create a sense of distance and to elevate the expressive potential of spaces . The expressive versus the referential content is always a prime concern as the works take shape. As water flows, s does Jane's artistic style.

Wink in a Room, 2026

20 Artworks

View
Opening Reception: First Friday, August 7th from 6-10pm
Showing: August 7th - August 29th, 2026

Show Statement: A wink is a silent form of communication. It’s a gesture that doesn’t demand attention, but quietly creates a connection between two people. I think a painting can do the same thing. A work hanging on the wall isn’t just an object to look at, it can catch someone’s eye, acknowledge them, reveal something unexpected or make them feel a certain way. “Wink in a Room” suggests that art isn’t passive.     Like a wink, a painting can invite, tease, reassure, or share a secret with the viewer. The conversation happens without words. Even the most simple pieces can connect a viewer simply from the colors. I hope you enjoy these pieces and maybe get a wink. As always, my ultimate goal is to create conversational pieces which not only warm a space but inspire positivity and imagination as well.

Wonders at Dusk I, 2015

12 Artworks

View
Envisioning figures and landscapes, at that last stillness of light between day and night. Leave enough room for interpretation. Color being central to the temperature and emotion of the painting. I see the painter as analogous to an actor/director bringing the viewer along to new places, memories, dreams, and family histories. I like to give the viewer space to interpret what they see on the canvas. Center stage in my art is the figure – an object in motion, as if the figure is caught, just for an instant; a glimpse, a snapshot before the gesture is complete. I’m not in search of exact representation. I’m intent rather on provoking a sense of tension or intensity. Color, bring the emotion to the painting. Whether spatial or expressionistic, the implied relationship between figures is intended to arouse curiosity. Painting is like a freeze frame. It helps both the viewer and the painter to pause – if just for a second as we enter into that two dimensional space. Most of the time the stage is imaginary or based on dreams and memories. Like Alice, the viewer is invited to step into the drama or the wonderland inside the looking glass.

Woodlands, 2018

I live in the country, surrounded by nature, something more rare now. There are moments during walks through the fields and woods where I feel connected to all things. I strive to put that idea into my work. I might describe this show as My Friends the Trees but this is not unique, I always paint trees. How I might describe my work: a bit of Dr. Seuss done by an Amish gal—structured, precise, thoughtfully articulated but radical, like nature.

 I began painting after the passing of my grandmother and dear friend, whose home was filled with beautiful works by the women in my family from generations past. Growing up, I loved gazing at their floral still lifes and landscapes. As I realized how few of these treasures remained, I began my own journey of artistic exploration, modeling my style after the legacy of these women whose stories live in my heart. I have always enjoyed art history, particularly the Renaissance Era, following a summer abroad in Florence. I remember a particular moment of powerful inspiration at the National Gallery in London, when I walked through rooms of Renaissance art, enjoying the deep jewel tones and dark drama from artists like Boticelli, one of my particular favorites. As I stepped into the next room, I was suddenly hit by a flurry of pastel colors, wild brushstrokes, movement, and light. These were rule-bending pieces that exuded passion, seeming to dig deeper into the vibrance of life, soul, ambiance, and expression. This was the moment I fell in love with impressionism. Vincent Van Gogh, full of life, depth, sorrow, and a passion for human dignity, has become my mentor. The practice of painting has become a joyfully addictive way to express the thoughts and feelings that flow through my days—and often, the sweetest way to calm my racing mind. At its heart, my creative practice is about cultivating joy, honoring the gift of family, and helping others sense the deep love of their Creator. I create for the love of One who makes all things beautiful.
