Meet Jane Kirkpatrick

“. . . Each painting provides a unique opportunity to capture the viewer’s reactions to the artist’s impressions of a scene. I strive to invoke a certain mood in my paintings with bold color and the way light hits and interacts with the subjects. I am fascinated with the idea of taking a white canvas and saturating it with intense color, light, and value to create a sense of time and place. Hopefully, the viewers can use their imaginations, as well as their eyes, to grasp the essence of ‘being there’ as I was when creating the painting.”
