This big painting is called "To Life" - my inspiration for the title coming after watching the documentary on Oliver Sacks - an amazing man and great doco depicting his life. 

The landscape background is Ponui island as viewed from the back of Waiheke Island, and the flowers of course Pohutukawa - maybe my favourite flower. Whether framed on paper or canvas this work stands out like a beautiful window looking out onto a summer's day on any wall.

Acrylic painting on canvas 960mm x 1250mm (framed).

This painting inspired by summer flowers in a meadow on a bright sunny day, is one of a series of exciting brightly coloured new works by Jane. This original work in a fairly free style is painted in acrylics on a birchwood painting board.

A later work in Jane’s flower series, the style in this painting is more careful and refined – expressing perhaps the delicate and fleeting nature of the subject matter. This original work is painted in acrylics on a birchwood painting board.

This original painting completed in November 2023 looks down onto Hahei beach and over to Te Pare Point with the Alderman islands in the distance. The serenity of this place, of places like this on a hot summer's day beckon the viewer to visit. I certainly want to go back to Hahei, it's been a while...

This painting is a view of Waewaetorea island, over looking Waewaetorea channel. I was standing on Urupukapuka island in New Zealand's northland as I took the photo I painted from. The bay of Islands in the north is very special to me. I grew up there as a child and my family have lived there for generations.

This painting shows the watery space between one land form and another, and symbolically for me holds a felt experience of the many transitions we make in our lives. Some bigger at times than others.

This painting was taken from a photo I took as I was on my way to Mita Bay to go camping. It was such a beautiful day it reminded me of this poem by Rumi: What a day today. There are two Suns rising.... ! What a day. Not like any other day. LOOK...! The Light is shining in your HEART.... The wheel of life has stopped. O you who can see into your own HEART.... What a day, This is your day.
