Sunset, Lympstone

In her landscape paintings Jayne is looking for a connection of energy between the
sky, water and earth. She is showing the viewer the power running through the layers
of the scene before her. We often see what is happening above ground level. Jayne is
exploring the energy beneath our feet. How the light and water feed this energy,
which in turn keeps the life cycle going.
‘It is important for me that I don’t just put everything I see in a painting. I also put
everything I feel. When I paint, I am looking for something that I consider ordinary, that
I take for granted everyday. There are moments when this ordinary is at its most wonderful. There is magic every day. Thats is what I would like people to stop and see.’
Jayne studied GCSE and A level art and then went on to work in retail and window
dressing.
In 2008 when she had her first child she began to study with the artist, Daniel Stone
(RCA)MA. In recent years her work has been selected for exhibitions by the Society of
Women Artists, ING Discerning Eye London and this year the Royal West Academy in
Bristol.
