Art has always been at the root of all Jane's career decisions. She originally trained as a Primary School teacher at Brighton College of Education. She chose Teaching because of the opportunities of working with children creatively through Art. Wanting to work more in the world of Art she took a degree in Graphic Design at Kingston Polytechnic. This resulted in working as a Graphic Designer for Minale, Tattersfield and Partners, a top international design group in London.  A further interest led to a foundation course at the Byam Shaw School of Art, after which she studied Fine Art at Cheltenham College of Art.

Jane has a studio in Lavender Hill, Battersea, London and has become involved in exhibiting in group shows including the Battersea Contemporary Arts Fair, the Contemporary Print Show at the Barbican, Fresh Art and On the Wall at Olympia. She is now looking for a venue to hold a one person show.

Since 1997 Jane has been organizing group and solo exhibitions, firstly under the title of "Art at the Vines" at a restaurant in Lavender Hill in Battersea, close to her studio with two friends. When this venue closed in 2001 she has continued to organize shows with her colleague Pete Mountford, as Art 3 at the Wine Gallery in Chelsea until 2007.

Jane’s training as a Graphic Designer is evident in her work through her love of colour, shape and rhythm. She moves between being purely non-referential to careful analytical observations of London scenes and interiors. More recently she has been inspired not only by the landscapes to be found in London, but also from her trips abroad. Through her unique vision she simplifies her observations into colourful geometric shapes, often incorporating her motif the stripe, but not always. Josef Albers and Bridget Riley are a great source of inspiration.

Jane has also worked on several commissions for a property company in London and a Pharmaceutical company in the Middle East. In 2007 she co-curated a collaborative print show with the Southbank Printmakers and printmakers from the Palatinate, Germany, which was held in Landau and was a great success.
