Jane Hodgson – Landscape and seascape contemporary painter. Teacher of art and mentor to artists

Jane is a mid career artist with 30 years of creative background. Her ongoing narrative is the celebration of our great landscape, cross-referenced to the destruction of our planet.

Jane is constantly evolving in style, she doesn’t pigeon hole herself in to any one way of working, she celebrates change, it leads to new and exciting work.

Alongside working in oils on canvas, in 2019 she started using a transparent plant based material as a ground on which to paint, the organic material alludes to the need for all of us to care more about the damage of using plastics; oil painted in bright transparent earth and sea colours with added ferrous powders, aims to remind us of the beauty and richness that is our earth.

“The pleasure of pretty art draws on dissatisfaction: if we did not find life difficult, beauty would not have the appeal it does”. (Art is Therapy, Alain de Botton and John Armstrong. Phaidon Press Ltd, London, 2017, pp19.).

Jane hopes you enjoy her work – the organic material to remind us to take more care of our planet, the colour and metals as celebration of its beauty and richness; the underlying narrative – our planet is changing, we need to take care, but it is still beautiful.

Jane Hodgson, SWAc, MA Arts & Ecology, BA (Hons) Fine Art.
