Playful and inventive, the paintings of Jane Richardson retain their individuality by developing a clever orchestra of abstract symbols to vocalize various concepts. Her subject matter varies widely, exploring social roles or reveling in natural landscapes and dazzling abstractions, each painting remains a distinctive moment in time. Richardson works in acrylic or mixed media and her palette knife strokes and impasto treatment coincide with a strong awareness of the communicative power of color. Constantly developing her style, Richardson has begun working with metallic paints and experimenting with different materials such as copper and embedded canvas. 

Born in British Columbia, Richardson has a background in Biology and teaching, and she has an affinity for the natural wonders of the northern wilds that can often be seen in her work. She has exhibited frequently in Vancouver and has recently acquired representation in New York, while working to expand her Leighdon Studio Gallery into an arts center for exhibitions and art education.
