Landscapes are pure magic
I just stumbled upon your art online, and I am at a loss for words! Your oil pastel landscapes are pure magic. Many are so beautiful that my eyes just fill with tears.

Jane ignited my confidence
I feel beyond lucky to have a new teacher in my life. Her paintings are magical and vibrant and playful and nature-inspired and radiant. (Those of you who know my art will be able to see right away why her work resonates with me.) Whenever you try something new, that old, badgering critic waits in the shadows, ready to pounce at the first mistake. Poised to tell you how unpoised you are. Crouching for the kill. When a gentle, inspired, positive, passionate teacher guides your process, the critic doesn’t get a chance to criticize. What I loved about working with Jane was that she kept offering new materials, ideas, and perspectives. She showered her students with possibilities, so the creative sparks could fly. So even though I felt awkward about working with pastels for the very first time, Jane ignited my confidence.
Every hour or so, I was learning a new material, throwing down new lines, making a discovery. It was intoxicating. Jane offered timeless artist quotes as well as her own wisdom. She can see what color is needed in a painting, just by stepping back and becoming aware. I love adapting her techniques and inspirations. They make me feel brilliant! Also, having many beginnings meant that I could take them home and continue working, continue practicing. The emerging creations make me happy.
A good teacher is one who colors your world. Thank you, Jane!

Each one is exquisite
I received my prints today and I could not be happier. I only wish my apartment was bigger so I could add more. Love the postcard size samples. Each one is exquisite.
