As a professional artist, Jane Oriel has been exhibiting her art work for over 20 years, in addition to painting murals and doing magazine illustrations. Her work can be found in many private collections, and has been exhibited nationally, including NYC and tri-state area, NY's Hudson Valley, and the SF Bay Area. She studied at The Art Student's League, Parsons School of Design and The School of Visual Arts, NYC.

Her work has been donated to many non-profit organizations.

As a young adult she studied with Tee Corinne, who sadly passed away very recently. Her impact as a teacher and artist remains present in Oriel's work today.

"I love to watch a painting unfold, like a story being told for the first time. This process is what inspires me to give the care and attention to every portrait that I do. Raised in a very musical and creative home, I have painted many subjects over the years. The inspiration to do animal portraits came after completing a series of paintings inspired by Millie, my mother's Jack Russell Terrier. I couldn't resist Millie's expressive gestures, humor, and soulfulness. This led me to the challenge of capturing all of these qualities in a single portrait, because no creature on earth is one-dimensional".
