Description
JANE RUTHERFORD’S paintings focus on patterns in the landscape, where areas of human intervention such as fields, pathways, gardens and clearings, meet wilder vegetation. She is drawn to the borders between the natural and the cultivated, the inhabited and the uninhabited. Observing marks made in a landscape, Jane draws on memory and by layering paint, fabric and wallpaper, she evokes the connection of a person to a place. Jane has exhibited widely and with a bursary, awarded by the McColl Arts Foundation, she travelled to Brazil to paint on the theme of land development in the Northern Amazon. Recent works have focused on landscapes in Dumfrieshire and Scottish Borders.
