About the Item
Born in New York City to an economist father, and a culture loving mother, Jane gravitated to art along with her three siblings. All through school she was exposed to inspiring teachers and in 1980 graduated from New England School of Art and Design where she studied graphic Design. Drawn more to the craft of making art than to the commercial side, Jane worked making architectural models for Ben Thompson in Boston and Peter Marino in New York.
After raising two boys in New York, Jane began working full time as an artist in New York and in Swans Island, Maine.
Primarily a printmaker, Jane also makes collage, assemblage, and is an illustrator.

Artist's Statement:
I cannot walk past a beautiful stone, or a gnarled and weathered piece of wood without picking it up, holding it, wanting to keep it. I started making my driftwood constructions as a way to make a place for these found treasures. To somehow create some order, or purpose, for these naturally worn, softened, nomadic bits of wood; to bring them home. For many years I built architectural models and making shadow boxes is similar. I love the fine meditative work of arranging the pieces, choosing the right color, and floating it in space. I attempt to draw attention to the uniqueness of each piece of driftwood, evoking the sea and the sky that formed them, without detracting from their inherent beauty.
I work in a studio in New York City, and in most of my work I bring the outdoors, in. Water, wind, leaves, pine needles, furry creatures, swimmers, feathers, fish, nudes, are recurring subjects that inspire me.
