Jane Cabrera

Predominately through painting  Jane explores the human connection/disconnection with the natural world. Women are often at the centre of her work, depicted as mothers or as singular figures connected to the earth. 

Jane fuses multiple truths and paradoxes; light and dark, suffering and hope, destruction and creation mixed with energies beyond the human. Fragmented and ambiguous layers of meaning and material connect to the unconscious collective and self. Ultimately everything on earth becomes physical or psychological food or poison. Everything is connected. Human trauma and it's healing run parallel with that of our earth. There is always room for redemption like the art of painting itself.

Her work has run alongside her career as an award winning Children's book Author and Illustrator 
Jane will be studying an MA in Fine Art at The City and Guilds of London Art school from September.

Jane initially worked as a graphic designer. She has featured in many worldwide publications, run workshops, appeared at all main UK book festivals, curated exhibitions and given talks to children and adults.

Jane grew up just outside London and now lives in Devon, UK. She has 2 children.
