Artist Statement
Recently my work has taken on a new direction. I have become acquainted with the work of Jane Jones and have become inspired to paint perfection or the search for it by painting intimate, small scale portraits of dolls, toys and flowers. On a larger scale, thanks to my lovely daughters, I have been painting LDS temples as wedding gifts for them, and have found a market for these as well. Previously I have done sunflowers in every media I could get my hands on. I'm sure I will still include sunflowers in my new work, but in a slightly different context, more as a compliment to the composition instead of the main subject.
I find myself enchanted with the beauties of the world, including people and their search for perfection. I can hardly contain myself if I do not try to paint these wonders, and bring these beauties to life on the canvas.
I hope you enjoy my work.

Jane Is a perpetual student of the arts, focusing on Fine Oils, choosing as her genre, dolls and flowers. Hedonism, (beauty) is the theme of most of Jane’s art, Her paintings are based on gifts that have been given her. Although this may seem a bit sentimental, Jane says, “So what’s wrong with being sentimental?”
Jane grew up without a clue that she was born to be an artist.
It wasn’t until her junior year in high school that she took her first art class, and although greatly intimidated by other students in the class, she did her best and found the process thoroughly enjoyable..Today Jane finds and
makes time to paint, loving every minute of it. As Jane has taught high
school and college level Art for more than 20 years, she particularly likes
her summers and devotes them to painting.
