JANE PEART

I have always had a love of drawing and previously worked as an illustrator.

I completed an  etching course at Oxford Printmakers and have been hooked on that medium for the last twenty  years. I love the subtlety of line and detail, alongside the strength of tone that can be achieved.  This lends itself perfectly to my style.  

​

More recently I have ventured into acrylic painting, I have really enjoyed the immediacy  of working with paint and colour. It’s very exciting to strive to capture an image this way,  completely different from the etching process! I have been concentrating on landscapes.  

​

My inspiration comes from both the places I have travelled to and my love of drawing  animals and birds. I always try to evoke the atmosphere of the place I am portraying or  the character of the animal or bird.
