Artist Statement

Mary Jane has developed a wide portfolio of Landscapes and these now form the main body of her work, as she has found the rhythms of the land and the sky as fascinating as the movements of the human body. All her work is characterised by its joy of the dramatic, not just in Hampshire and other parts of the South of England, but also in Southern Italy. This area has become very important to her as she now has a studio in the province of Caserta, Campania. Her landscapes are rich in both colour and texture and are all painted in the open air. This has inspired her to see the abstract form inherent in landscapes and she has recently found creative expression in abstract painting as well.
