About Me
Artist + lover of brilliant colours & fluid forms. Passionate about my native Australia - its beauty reflected throughout its plants, its animals, its landscapes and its people.
I am Artworks by Louisa-Jane (Jane Louise) and I endeavour to showcase both exotic and distinctive Australian themes in my art. I work from both photographs and real-life - manipulating and expressing the essence of a particular scene, with some images more abstract than others.
I majored in drawing and sculptural ceramics at art college. I was previously an art teacher and educator and have recently returned to my first love of creating artworks. I paint with matte flow acrylics on canvas, building up layers as I go.
I often take my inspiration from the Australian bush and its spectacular inhabitants and scenery. I am always experimenting - trying out new mediums and methods of applying paint and colour. I delight in the incidental mishaps which I include throughout my work.
“The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it… where the strokes come like speech”. Vincent van Gogh
