About Jane
I was born in London and studied illustration at Ealing School of Art before moving to Oxford in 1978.
Having previously worked as an illustrator, I took up printmaking 20 years ago and now specialise in copper plate etching. I love the challenges that are created in printmaking. Using the medium of etching enables me to achieve both great strength of line and fine line detail. This, combined with aquatint, creates a range of tone from black to very delicate areas giving huge scope in making my prints. I find inspiration from travels both in the UK and abroad and also enjoy making images of animals and birds. When making my prints my aim is to evoke the atmosphere of the place that inspires me or the character of the animals I am portraying.
I exhibit my work regularly in various venues and galleries.
I have completed a range of commissions: the biggest being a 42 plate etching for the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital Trust depicting the life and architecture of the four hospitals in the trust.
I have work in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospital, London and The Oxford Radcliffe Hospital Trust.
I am a member of Oxford Printmakers, Oxford Art Society
