Jane Strother OAS – Oxfordshire Artweeks

458 Jane Strother OAS

Region: Headington – City

Artform: Painting

I exhibit in my house and studio in Headington. It is a large exhibition with plenty of space for visitors to browse comfortably and enjoy the garden too!
I am showing current, new work and past pieces too. There is rhythm throughout, you can view a development of approach, the way I devise a method of building a painting, be it landscape or otherwise.

I have painted all my life, completing a Fine Art degree at Bath Academy of Art, PGCE and Master in Art Education.
Alongside my painting practice, for nearly 20 years, I worked as a freelance commercial illustrator in publishing, packaging and advertising, for a wide range of clients including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, London Transport, Midland Mainline, Saatchi Design, Reader’s Digest, Longman, Heinemann, Penguin, Random House and Oxford University Press.

Since 1980 I have worked in schools, colleges and many private organisations, teaching challenging drawing and painting courses for all ages, which enable students at whatever level of experience or ability, to develop their own art practice. I have also worked in management and training of tutors and in monitoring good practice while working for Oxfordshire County Council and Abingdon and Witney College.
Over many years’ experience, teaching has become interrelated with my practice.
