Jane Holden | Contemporary Landscape Painter

About

Fascinated with both nature and colour, nature has become my guide as I see the natural world through colour. Connecting and developing a relationship with this is important to me as I want to focus on meaningful, peaceful and quiet things in life. I believe in having appreciation for the natural world, beauty and the seasons which I honour through my paintings. Thus I live my life, love every minute of it and do it my way.

My studio is comfortably nestled into the loft of an 1860’s Victorian gothic farmhouse overlooking my surroundings. From strolls through the countryside, to sitting on the bench looking out into the distance, I have become engaged in an ongoing immersive sensory experience with the ever changing landscape. I gather and notice, bringing the essence of these experiences back into the studio. I live with my husband Brandon Steen also an artist and our English bull terriers Dolores and Paddy in the Eastern Northumberland Hills of Ontario, Canada.
