About Me.
Jane Shaw is an oil painter whose work is rooted in a lifelong practice of observation and sensitivity to the human and natural environment. Following a 40-year career as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, she brings a deeply developed awareness of nuance, relationship, and presence into her painting.
Influenced by American Impressionism, her work emphasizes the interplay of light, color, and atmosphere. Rather than focusing on strict representation, she seeks to capture the essence of a scene. Her process is both intuitive and disciplined, balancing careful observation with a responsiveness to what emerges on the canvas. Jane invites the viewer into a more contemplative experience of place. Jane’s paintings are collected for their subtle depth, harmonious color, and the sense of stillness they evoke. She currently paints and exhibits in the Atlanta area. |
