HELLO

More About Me
It’s all about the watercolour.
 
I have 28 years of experience as a full time artist. I will be working in my studio gallery at Artemis, 3 Lilly Street, Sowerby Bridge, HX6 3DG until 28th November when it will be all change. I will be hosting a final event before I move on to new adventures.
 
NOVEMBER 28TH BIG RED TAG EVENT
5 – 8 PM, SEE DETAILS BELOW.
 
The regular studio hours have altered due to workshop times in November. Please contact me if you wish to visit as I don’t want you to have a wasted trip.

New 4-week courses are being held throughout November, booking is now closed. You can join my mailing list for priority information on future courses in 2027, which will be held at new venues, to be announced.

Testimonials can be seen at the bottom of this page. 

Here’s the last chance to  book a SIP & DIP INTO COLOUR event at the studio, exclusive to you and your friends. Come and have a painting party in the studio, £30 per person. Venue to alter in 2027.

WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU DROP IN TO THE STUDIO…..A BIG THANK YOU.

ALL PRICES WILL BE CUT FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!

This is a one time opportunity event to buy an original piece of art at a ridiculous price, so if you’ve had your eye on something now is the time! After the event all items will revert to presale prices. If you know what you want before the event but cannot attend then please get in touch.

This has been my fabulous space for a year and a half to produce original artwork, my gallery space and venue for workshops and events. Original work can be purchased mounted only or with a frame of your choice. It’s also possible to arrange a personal payment plan if you see something that you cannot live without. 

There will be framed and mounted original pieces, as well as prints, cards and postcards.

The more I sell on the night the less I have to pack up in 2 days before I leave.

GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR ANY CHOSEN AMOUNT, I AM CONTINUING MY WORK AND TEACHING AS USUAL.

Unfortunately accessibility does include stairs, for which I can only apologise in advance.

Sign up to follow my Instagram or Facebook account to see updates.

If you sign up to my mailing list you will get priority notice of events, workshops book up very quickly.

Tuition Testimonials

“I have always enjoyed your classes very much and find your enthusiasm for teaching us shines out, learning in such a close homely atmosphere is both relaxing and therapeutic. Not to mention how much you have taught me, all of which has helped improve my work. The subject matter has always been varied and at times challenging but you always get us there which I admire you for.'”

"My friend and I booked the day class 'Rabbit' which was lovely. I've been to Jane in the past and travelled back, knowing it would be a great experience and it didn't disappoint. Jane is super friendly, talented, informative and makes you feel comfortable, giving tips and guidance but also allowing freedom in your own painting. Super proud of my finished piece and would definitely recommend to anyone."

"Loved the day, nice and relaxing but full of information. Helpful and happy to give advice when needed. Would recommend to anyone."

" The 8-week 'Observational Drawing' course was exceptionally helpful in pinpointing one's own mistakes and understanding one's own individual way forward. NEVER would I have chosen the subjects, which were exceptionally challenging and well out of my comfort zone. I now have confident to tackle subjects which I would have previously avoided."
