Jane is constantly changing in style, she doesn’t pigeon hole herself in to any one way of working, which she used to worry was perhaps incoherent, but she just goes along with it now. Jane likes change, it leads to new and exciting work.

A shift this year is to 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.
