Jane Cochrane - MA Fine Art with Distinction

In my work, I seek to transform raw pigments into visual poetry—capturing nature's rhythms through colour and movement in every piece.

Artistic Focus

Nature in Motion: My seasonality works capture the evolving colourscapes experienced during early morning runs through the Suffolk countryside. These pieces translate the kinetic rhythm of movement into compelling compositions that echo the intricate complexity of the natural world, offering viewers a glimpse into fleeting moments of beauty.

Paper Inlay Technique: Through my innovative paper-inlay approach, I investigate the subtle relationships between tone, colour, and granulation. This meticulous process allows me to create complex, often mathematical designs—from flowing ribbons to precise geometric patterns—that invite contemplation of order within artistic expression.
