“For me, it’s blue.  Not every blue, not blue in every work, but most.  I cannot leave it aside. It is the color pervading all memory.  The blue of delft, the murky blue green of the creek by our house, the lakes of Michigan, sapphire seas around New Zealand, the blues of my daughters’ eyes. Water and sky. Water which my thoughts and my body crave.  Water which my imagination fears.  Losing sight of land.  Nature in abstract- abstracted representation.  My imagery seeks to delineate form and alters focus.  I explore mediums and composition to create an atmospheric sense of place and time.”
Jane lives and maintains a studio in Katonah and prints at The Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, Ct.
