Springfield, Jane

Jane Springfield

Jane Springfield’s landscapes and still-life paintings capture the essence of special places. She is drawn to the spontaneous nature of watercolor that allows quick interpretation and unexpected results in her work. The use of clear, subtle color emphasizes the transparent quality of the medium. She paints on location and in her
studio to create picture memories inspired by what she sees on travels and in local scenes. Her paintings, based on hiking and backpacking trips all over the world, have
been accepted in many prestigious exhibitions and have won numerous awards.

Jane is a native of Atlanta residing in Marietta, Georgia. She is active with Sierra Club and hikes frequently – also acting as the “sweep” on hikes led by her husband. In
previous careers she was an agency art director, catalog producer and high technology marketing director. A present/past board member of Atlanta Artists Center and Georgia Watercolor Society, she exhibits locally and nationally and is in many private and corporate collections.
