Jane graduated from Art University in 2003 and she is an experienced Art teacher who has been working with students of all ages ever since. Originally from Ukraine, Jane has been living in Sydney for 7 years now and has completely fallen in love with the amazing Australian nature. She loves to incorporate the beauty of the outdoors into her artwork and encourages her students to do the same.

She loves to paint with oil on canvas, acrylics, watercolors, and pretty much any other medium you can think of! But the thing that really sets Jane apart is how excited she gets to see her students' happy faces and their amazing results after every class. It's clear that art is her passion, and she loves nothing more than inspiring others to discover their own creative talents.

Title or Location: Portrait of a country woman
The woman stands tall amidst the sweeping golden fields of wheat, her weathered face a testament to years of hard labor beneath the sun. Her skin, bronzed by the endless days in the open air, carries the deep lines of experience and resilience. Despite the evident fatigue etched into her features, there is a quiet strength in her posture, a silent defiance against the harsh elements of nature that she?s come to know so intimately.

My father was a gentle soul who loved his garden, and he took great joy in watching all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren exploring and playing among the flowers. He was always exceptionally good at soothing fretful babies, and toddler's tantrums. He died many years ago, but I do like to imagine that he's watching us all and making special visits to meet his new great grandchilden.Watercolour on Fabriano Artistico. Hot Press.

I painted this one for a watercolour weekly challenge on FB where the subject was fish. My goldfish is looking up towards daylight. I spattered clean water on damp paint to give the impression of light dispersion in shallow water. I like the effect of clean water pushing paint away to add interest and light.
