Jane Hunt

Jane Hunt was born in Derbyshire, England, but moved to the United States as a teenager. After receiving her BFA in Illustration from the Cleveland Institute of Art, Jane worked as an illustrator for several years before returning to her true love: landscape painting.

Having travelled to France, England, Indonesia, and China, Jane found herself drawn to the evocative landscapes of the American West, and working primarily in oil, often paints smaller pieces en plein air.

Jane’s landscapes have won over 200 awards, and have been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur, Southwest Art, Art of the West, Mountain Living, Luxe, Plein Air Magazine, Western Art & Architecture, American Art Collector, and many more. She is represented by galleries and museums across the US and in her native England. Now based in Colorado, she continues to be inspired by the natural beauty surrounding her.

“Even though I paint a lot of studies on location, my landscapes are less about describing a specific place than they are about the feelings evoked.  With an impressionistic, tonal approach, I hope to convey the emotional connection that I have with each scene.  Moving cross-Atlantic three times in my early years, I spent much of my life with an underlying sense of homesickness.  This yearning propelled me to create a sense of ‘home’ within my landscapes.  My greatest hope is that my work gives its viewer this same sense of comfort and connectedness; a gentle place to rest”.
