Since graduating in 2006 in fine art, Jayne has been involved in many creative areas including ceramics, furniture design, sculpture, film and photography.

Painting is her passion and she feels that this body of work presented to you would be described as a creation of ‘painterly effects in abstract form’.

Jayne’s creative process begins with drawing often photographing to record the light. She does not copy, but uses this as inspirational springboards which hold glimpses of composition and colour.

This starting point is just a reminder of the place, the feeling and experience of that moment through several layers of paint and using different mediums to reconfigure the real.

Totally intuitively, her work is mainly acrylics, oils, inks, oil sticks, charcoal and collage that she creates herself or are found, and paints on wood and canvas.

She ‘belongs’ to the work as she creates and is enthralled in the unpredictability of this process. This documenting represents the passing of what was to what is.

Jayne describes these abstract paintings as the ‘entropy of her inner thoughts and feelings, which bring creative orderliness of colour and shapes to a surface’.

"A flat surface covered with colours assembled in a certain order."

"Rhythms and exploration of the unconscious."
