More About Jane

I’ve always been drawn to creating. As a self-taught artist, I love the freedom of trying something new—playing with color, texture, words, and different mediums and simply seeing where they lead me.

Faces and angels have always found their way into my work. There is something about an expression that can tell a story without saying a word. I love trying to capture those quiet little things—the tenderness, strength, joy, vulnerability, and hope that are part of all of us.

My faith is woven into much of what I create. Sometimes it appears in a Scripture, sometimes in a single word, and sometimes simply in the feeling I hope a painting leaves behind. I want my art to be beautiful, of course, but I hope it can also be a gentle reminder that God is near, that we are seen and loved, and that there is always reason for hope.

I’m also a collector of words. I tuck away favorite verses, quotes, little phrases, and thoughts that speak to me. Quite often, those words eventually find their way onto a canvas or become the beginning of a new idea.

And when I’m not painting, I’m a wife, mother and Grammie who has been blessed with a family I dearly love. At this slightly-over-middle-age season of life, I’m especially grateful that I still get to learn, experiment, make a mess in my studio, and create things that might bring someone else a little joy.

That, more than anything, is what I hope my art does—offers a little beauty, a little encouragement, and a reminder of His goodness.
