Specialising in silk and mixed media art, Jane creates and exhibits work through exhibitions and indoor/outdoor art installations. Since the completion of an MA Creative Practice in 2016, her work has explored the benefits of green exercise and time spent outdoors within nature.
Parallel to this she also devises and facilitates art workshops covering a broad range of techniques and media, for children and more recently, adults, encouraging creative confidence and enjoyment of process.

About my work
Direct contact with the land is illustrated through a variety of techniques: use of texture rubbings and prints, natural dyeing, eco printing and rust marking. Manmade rubbish weathered by the elements and collected whilst walking is utilised alongside natural found objects, tokens of a place visited. Recurring motifs are used throughout Jane’s work, the golden suture representing improving health and emotional fortitude, concentric circles and holes/portals signifying movement through space whilst also acting as a sanctuary. Every hand stitch, akin to the footpath markings on a map, celebrates the potential for personal transition that physical movement through the land can provide us.
