11 3/4 x 18 1/8 in
Jane came from Amata Community to Alice Springs in the early 2000s and for three years was a student at Batchelor College, receiving a Certificate 2 in Arts and Craft. Painting for over 8 years now, Jane draws inspiration from colours, owls, nature; flowers, hills and trees. It is these subjects that connects Jane to her family and country. Jane produces texture-rich canvases and elaborate works on paper that demonstrate her passion for art and above all a close connection to community. Referring to her favourite subject, Tjulpu (birds) or Owls “At night time the owls come in to visit. I can hear them, I look for them. I see the owl and the moon and then I go to sleep.”
