Prints, collages, and paintings by Canadian artist, Jane A. Evans

The first gallery below displays monotypes. These are original, one-of-a-kind, handmade prints where acrylic paint is handpainted on a sheet of glass and then while still wet the paint is lifted off by hand pressing print-quality paper, collaged oriental papers, or specially treated canvas over it. Numerous, consecutively pressed and lifted layers of paint make one, absolutely unique print. It is the first and only print in a total edition of one, so it is numbered 1/1.

The paintings gallery below exhibits items in watercolour/ink or items made in “mixed media” of acrylics, many with collage additions of oriental paper textures.

Prices are in Canadian dollars. Items are unframed unless framing is noted. Some items are NFS (not for sale) while I am building an exhibition.

Items for sale may be purchased by contacting the listed gallery or Jane Evans through the Order page.

I make landscape pictures for the pleasure of exploring each natural, enveloping site through its textures, colours, organic forms, light, and shadows. The pictures are not so much traditional “landscapes” as they are “land-escapes.”

From 1971 until 2012 my public medium was fiber art, including a series of over 100 landscapes called “Places of Peace,” which combined painting, weaving, and embroidery. See the Fiber art page. I also made drawings and paintings as preparatory work for the finished textile pieces.

In 2012 I moved from fiber art, which had incorporated paints, to painting with acrylic paints. The resulting landscapes still portray the intricate patterns and tranquil ambiance in nature. Acrylic gels and pastes often add perceptible surface textures. Recent mixed-media work incorporates textural effects from oriental papers that are collaged prior to adding paint.

In 2017 I returned to include another favorite medium, printmaking, and now make both the monotypes (one-of-a-kind prints) described above and mixed-media pieces.
