As muralist and graphic designer she creates messaging imagery for community/social action efforts, working for fairness for the majority of people. Since 2000, she began searching for her own take on the world, consistently finding her deepest joy interpreting places of natural beauty experienced firsthand, inspired by the glaciers, river canyons, forests, shores, mountain slopes lying just beyond city life. Jane explores ideas about climate change, human impact on earth and freshwater scarcity through paintings that use the beauty of paint to reach viewers’ awareness. Solo exhibition “Shaped by Water” (EBMUD 2007) expresses the visual relationship of water to land; “Cappadocia Ex/Interiors” (Road Trip 2008) interprets inhabited land formations in Turkey. A 2009 Morris Graves Residency extends series work.
