Jane has been a professional artist since 1987 and now has her studio and gallery in the outstanding Northumberland countryside, in Lowick, not far from the stunning coastline and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Jane prefers to work directly from an actual subject bringing whatever she can back into her studio to study and paint. Otherwise she can be seen out and about with her camera taking photos for reference. The flora and fauna of Jane's surroundings always provide a wealth of inspiration, thus enabling her to achieve the fine detail and realism that have become the hallmarks of her paintings.
