Jane Austin

I am a watercolour artist based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. I trained as an illustrator gaining a BA (Hons) Graphics Degree in 1986. I have worked as a freelance artist since 1998, first selling through other galleries until having my own gallery studio for over two years in Northowram. Now I look to exhibiting further a field.

I work from my garden studio at home which enables me to be much more flexible. In general I work from photographs and sketches, enjoying the travel to gather new images that excite me. The majority of my sales are originals, though I have limited prints on occasion.

Commissions are my speciality, private and commercial. I also take on some illustration work and occasional murals. I teach art projects within schools but thoroughly enjoy the adult watercolour art classes that I run locally. I also teach and give demonstrations at the Northowram Art Circle.

I hope that you enjoy browsing through my website, I welcome any enquiries on sales and commissions.
