Jane's work is characterised by its revelation of the half hidden colours around us.  This encourages the viewer to see the familiar with new eyes and to rediscover enjoyment of the surrounding world.  Her work has been bought and commissioned by private and corporate clients both in the UK and abroad. Jane has been featured in several national publications including Artists and Illustrators which in 2009 described her as a 'master of watercolour'.

Jane is a popular tutor whose weekend workshops are often oversubscribed. Her sympathetic and encouraging approach gives great confidence to both beginners and improvers.  She believes in breaking through the mystique and jargon that surrounds watercolour and in sharing knowledge.  As a professional associate of the SAA (Society for All Artists) Jane carries the society's endorsement as a recommended tutor and demonstrator.
