Jane Hooper British, b. 1968

Jane lives in Thame, a market town in east Oxfordshire. The town often serves as inspiration for her work and it influences much of her subject matter - for example, the wonderful fruit and vegetable market.Jane also likes to include everyday domestic objects in her compositions. She finds it satisfying to depict these often overlooked items.

Jane works in oils as, for her, this medium has the perfect consistency for building texture and adding character to her work. She pushes the paint around to achieve the desired mark making and she likes to keep her palette simple in order to achieve cohesion. Her confident paintings have a subtle, spontaneous, relatable appearance.
