Jane Lewis is a painter and printmaker with an established and still growing reputation. During a career spanning some 30 years Jane has worked in watercolour, etching, most drawing media, pastel, digital media and constantly in oil on canvas. Her compositions are not directly inspired by dreams, but they are a kind of waking dream. The pictures are a personal narrative of visual, musical and physical obsessions. There are various elements that occur regularly: masks for example, cats, still lifes of fruit or geometrical shapes, pieces of classical sculpture, wings and angels.
Taking ideas from life and the imagination often involves the construction of props, making paper geometric shapes, or reinventing a mask. These creations are frequently combined with an assemblage of eclectic clothing, musical instruments, animals and a variety of found or collected objects to further the narrative within a picture.
