Jane Haycock · Artist and makerObservation.
Intuition.
Possibility.
Jane Haycock is a British-Australian artist and maker.
Jane Haycock is a visual artist whose practice is rooted in the direct observation of nature. Her work explores the relationship between place, memory and emotional response through organic forms, gestural mark-making and an openness to intuition and chance. Working across oil, acrylic, watercolour and drawing mediums, Jane creates work that invites a conversation around identity, transformation and the ways our experiences become layered over time.
Following a career in international development and diplomacy, Jane is currently studying at the Australian National University for a Bachelor of Visual Arts. She completed a Foundation year at the Ottawa School of Art in 2021.
A continuing practice.
Jane’s work is held by private collectors
in the UK, Canada, Australia and Germany.
