Jane Kelly

Art and painting remains the constant in my life. I was blessed to live in Jasper as a child before moving to a ranch in central Alberta. After my University years at U. of A. and U. of C., I have been fortunate to live in various locations of Alberta and north- eastern B.C. involved in the agriculture and forestry industries. Mountains, foothills, parkland and prairies are all landscapes that I find have their own beauty and significance. I have always marveled at the magnificent light and rhythms of our beautiful land. The challenge of capturing these experiences through painting has been a life-long passion for me, and I hope my art resonates with others awed by the land we share.

Jane Kelly is an Alberta artist drawing inspiration from her experiences living and working in various locations of Alberta and north eastern B.C.  Jane spent her childhood in Jasper, later moving to a ranch in Central Alberta.  She graduated from U. of A. with a BSc. in Biology followed by a Professional Diploma in Education from U. of C.  Since then she has attended many workshops in drawing, composition and technique.
