Jane has taught throughout the United States, and Toronto, Canada for the past 30 years. She continues to teach adults from her Studio/Gallery in West Springfield, MA from September to May each year.
With Jane's support, many of her students have become professional artists in their own style and with their own following.
STUDENTS' QUOTES: "You trained me to understand color, theory, brush control and much more…….. I feel fortunate to have had you as an art instructor- you are so easy to understand." S.A. K. Harris Professional Artist Wasilla, Alaska
"I admire your initiative, creativity and passion. You live your essence……..The community is indebted to your vision." Toni Golinski-Foisy Librarian Director
" I wanted to thank you for all you have done for me. You really give me hope to succeed in life. If I ever have any future in any form of art, I believe it will be because of God's love shown through you." Laura Champagne Young adult art student.
Each Spring Jane sponsors a Student Art Show Reception in her Studio/Gallery, highlighting a feature artist. Many original works and prints are on display and for sale. Watch this space for the Spring, 2010 Student Show and reception.
Many of Jane's students will assert at first that they have "no talent," and question whether they will be able to paint well. Jane assures everyone that 99% of success has little to do with talent. Success comes from perseverance, by attending classes regularly and learning theory in a supportive atmosphere of fun, sharing and comradeship.
