Create art that's stylish, modern, and sellable

Hey there, I'm Jane!


As a self-taught artist for over a decade, I know what it’s like sometimes to feel lost, frustrated, or stuck with creativity and direction.

But I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way.

I’ve realized that the key to great art lies in your freedom to explore and have fun without pressure.

Permitting yourself to let loose without the worry of failing, because there is NO wrong way or right way to create.

When you stop thinking about the outcome and let your creativity lead you where it wants to go, that's when you make the good stuff.

You CAN make great art through playful exploration and unplanned outcomes.

These experiences have enabled me to help thousands of other artists do the same.

Many students have successfully sold their work online, at art shows and in galleries.

Inside Layer By Layer, you’ll also discover ways to prepare yourself to sell your art, whether it’s online, in-person, or what a gallery looks for in new artists seeking representation.


Whether it’s structured or loose, by the end of this program, you’ll have created modern mixed-media art that excites you, along with the confidence to make more.


I want to help you achieve the same level of success, so you can create art you love —and others will want to buy.


Let’s build your art to a gallery-worthy level of appreciation with renewed color, composition and confidence, together!


I’ll be waiting for you inside.

Thanks to Jane's courses, the same lady who bought three pieces of my art last week came back and bought another one. An 18"x24" with Jane's paper texture techniques, finished with resin.

 It is rare to have a class with just the right amount of teaching and silence allowing the absorption of technique, but encouragement to explore your way – all the while broadening your journey through progress. I’m honored to be a student and loved that Jane was growing through us too.

“Jane’s art courses enabled me to realize I can take my art to a level that is beyond amateur.”


With total recourse to the tutorials and practice, the art I create will be exciting, unique, polished and in time maybe, just maybe on par with the pros!! Mille mercis, Jane and Team!

“This course has changed my art AND my life and brought things up to a completely different level.”


The art I was doing before just wasn’t “doing it for me”. I never considered showing my things to a gallery (except with mosaics I did many years ago) but I’m actually considering that now. I wake up everyday with purpose. Jane, I can’t thank you enough.

CURIOUS IF THIS IS FOR YOU?

Ask yourself these questions:

 

✔ Are you tired of making craft-like art? Expand into larger modern compositions and elevate your collage pieces to a professional level.


✔ Have you created artwork that isn't selling? Transform your art into sellable gallery-worthy masterpieces that attract attention and demand.


✔ Have you taken other art courses but still feel lost or uninspired?  Regain clarity, purpose and direction with techniques and steps that will ignite fresh ideas for your best work yet!

✔ Do you feel like your artwork lacks that 'certain' something? Learn to create balance and harmony in your designs through various approaches to layout and composition.


✔ Are you bored of creating the same collage paper patterns? Enjoy creating unique paper textures that add excitement and sophistication to your artwork.
