Jane Fleetwood-Morrow, Painter

Jane has always been fascinated with the challenge of capturing the colour and light that she observes in nature. Her reflection paintings are built on a foundation of layers of bright colours followed by a natural palette and then a resin surface. Jane considers painting to be an
adventure full of risk and challenges, discoveries and rewards. For her, there is no experience like it. It is an essential part of who she is.
