Hi, I'm Jane and have always been a creative oddball. I studied art history, fine art and anthropology at Uni, and have dabbled in photography, printmaking, painting, book art, ceramics etc. I have worked previously as a PC games artist, photoshop artist, museum and gallery education officer, in a ceramics studio and as a tattoo artist. However, ill health meant I couldn't work conventionally anymore, so being stuck at home and having to work around my illness I somehow became a textile and mixed media artist. I have been self employed doing this for the last 6 hrs or so. The problem is, because my stitching takes so long ( I often do 12 hr days), I never draw or do anything else creative anymore, which I really miss. Hopefully this group will push my boundaries, and encourage me to find the time each day, to experiment and explore a different medium.
