Jane Schofield is an emerging artist known for her dynamic and experimental approach to painting. Although her passion for art began over 40 years ago as a schoolgirl, she recently reignited her artistic journey after a successful career in another field.
Inspired by nature, Jane draws heavily on her frequent visits to Richmond Park and Kew Gardens, where she has amassed a collection of over a thousand reference photographs of trees in various forms. These serve as the foundation for her intricate and expressive tree paintings.
Her work is characterized by layers of texture, bold colour palettes, and innovative techniques, including the use of metal leaf, spray effects, and unexpected colour combinations such as blue on gold, jade on copper, and neon pinks against turquoise. Each piece is highly stylized, vibrant, and uplifting, reflecting her commitment to pushing creative boundaries while maintaining a sense of joy and wonder in her art.
