Jane Oriel's work can be found in many private collections and has been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally, for over 25 years. While living in NYC in her twenties, she studied at The Art Student's League, Parson's School of Design and The School of Visual Arts. After working as a Graphic artist for many years, Jane moved to Woodstock, NY where she started to exhibit her work and gain confidence as a painter. In addition to editorial illustration, large scale public art and graphic design, she has created art work for many non-profit organizations, including animal rescues. Jane works from photographs and loves to meet her subjects whenever possible. "In 2001 unsure of a creative direction, I began a series of paintings inspired by my mother's Jack Russell Terrier. Her crazy, unbridled expressions of joy, sorrow, fear, humor, and soulfulness found their way into my heart and onto my canvas." "Prompted by a friend and teacher in NYC, I started to paint pet portrait commissions, a natural progression. It has been a true gift for me to bring art into peoples lives, inspired by their most precious companions. Watching a painting unfold is like a story being told for the first time."
"Oriel's
wonderful portraits capture the warmth and thoughtfulness
of her subjects..." ~Urbanhound.com
