Jane works part-time in our Chromos shop in Canterbury. The rest of her time is spent working hard in her studio creating wonderful paintings for her two regular galleries - Galeria San Maurizio, Venice, and the Val Gould Gallery, Sandwich, Kent - as well as new work for various upcoming exhibitions throughout the year.

Well done Jane - how do you manage to find the time to fit everything in, thats what I am wondering!
