“These paintings are small conversations with color.”

Jane’s work was featured in ‘Push Pull,’ on view January 13-28, 2023.

“My purpose with paint and all materials is to just let it happen. Most of these pieces started with a monoprint, then I started to add layers of paint spontaneously and at random to create a composition. I like to be unpredictable. Lately the work coming out of my studio is pretty vibrant, that might have something to do with the weather. I am creating some visual heat.”
