Who are you Mary Jane?
I’m a figurative painter, living and working in Brighton, on the South coast of England with my partner of 22 years, Richard and two black cats. I divide my time between work for solo and group shows and on commissioned work.
How did you feel that art was your path in life?
I have no conscious memory of “deciding to be an artist” it was always just what I did with most of my time – still is. My father is a superb draftsman, when he turns his hand to it, and his mother went to The Slade, going on to work as a portrait painter during the 1950’s so it always seemed a perfectly natural path for me to pursue and I’m lucky in that it’s one that my family have always supported.
