Jane Ferdinando

Jane is a contemporary artist based in Kent/East Sussex, working in watercolour, charcoal & oils. Jane is drawn to portraiture, she finds it an emotional experience, finding a connection with her subject, portraying the essence of the person, through capturing a natural expression for that particular person, and using sensitivity and softness to bring the subject to life. Jane also loves to paint scenes from nature, animals, wildlife, flowers and landscapes, using an expressive style and seeks to achieve a work that gives a sense of moment in time, expression, thought and joy. Jane is constantly inspired by the simple joys of life and using mindfulness to enjoy them all the more, and uses these moments to make sketchbook records which she can use to inform a painting at a later date.
