Jane is an artist with many years of experience of painting, not only in this country but also overseas.

Her career in agriculture and human nutrition has taken her to Uganda, Fiji and the South Pacific and, following her marriage, she has lived in Singapore, Turkey and Botswana.

Since retiring to Suffolk, she and her husband have travelled to South America, India and around the world.

She does, though, enjoy painting still life and some more orthodox landscapes.

Jane paints in a number of different media: oils, acrylics, pastels and watercolour and, for many years, concentrated on batik painting. Apart from four months at the Nayang Academy of Fine Art in Singapore, her art training has been informal. She has

Her paintings are held in private collections worldwide.
