Jane’s soft pastel works are concerned with creating images of robust contemporary realism. As well as a focus on different environments in landscape painting, she explores still life and even abstracts. There is a strong focus on light to develop the atmospherics of the pieces.

Her subjects are often unexpected and fascinating. Wendy Sharpe has described Jane’s work as, "sensitive, skilful work at once soft and dramatic". The simplicity of her chosen images is a base from which she adds beauty, delicacy and intricacy.

Jane is a multi-award winning pastellist and an Associate Member of The Royal Art Society of NSW.
