Jane McArthur resides in Tasmania. Her arts practice is multi-faceted, with visual arts adding to her growing experience as a musician, and martial artist, among other things.
Her ink drawings explore surrealism or imagined realities, using intricate detail, and ‘black and white’ness to imitate the surety we seek and/or imagine in reality as we see it. She is interested in the underlying and unspoken which shadows our material perspective. In her experience, this is equally if not more important than the tangible facts of our reality.
In her water colour and digital art she seeks the essence. Using the constraints of the media to find the simplest representation of the energy and the truth of the subject.
