Jane Austin

As a freelance artist for 22 years I also taught private courses, workshops and demonstrating across Yorkshire for most of those.
This is the part of my work which is now on hold due to distancing.
As I'm told people can never think of what to paint at home alone everyday I have adding an image to my public Facebook page Jane Austin Watercolour hoping to spark ideas and inspire everyone to keep practicing.
Being very involved in the local history of my home town of Halifax I was asked this year to produce the 'Shibden Collection' for Shibden Hall, renowned for the Anne Lister story BBC/HBO 'Gentleman Jack' by Sally Wainwright.
Last year saw me on the BBC 'Home Is Where The Art Is' episode 12 competing for a private commission after appearing as a wildcard for Sky Arts Landscape in 2018.
