Watercolour painting has been a hobby for Jane since she moved to Osoyoos several years ago. She has enjoyed weekend painting workshops given by Sheri Mitchell, Mike Svob, Sandy Albo, Bonnie Roberts and Suzanne Northcott and drawing and still life classes by Kindrie Gove and Dennis Weber.

Jane was born and raised in West Vancouver but has lived in the Cariboo, Alberta and Saskatchewan prior to settling in Osoyoos. She loves to travel and the variety in landscapes locally and overseas provides inspiration and challenges for her paintings. Jane is now also working with acrylic medium enjoying the brightness of colour and trying to capture light and shadow with both. Representational landscapes are her first love especially in autumn but she is adding abstracts and wildlife since recently retiring from her full time veterinary practice.
