One morning I woke up and realised that "I dream in green". Plants and gardening are on my mind night and day and I wanted to reflect this passion for design in our ambitious dual stands this year. Moving from a concept you have only dreamt about to the full display is always a challenge. We need to find someone who could connect with our vision and help bring the dream to life. Jane immediately connected with the spirit of my design and was quick to offer ways in which this could be achieved through sculptural design. She fully engaged with us and kept us informed throughout. Jane even jumped in the bath to ensure that the pose for Reflection was perfectly positioned! We challenged Jane to bring the sculptures to life through some creative colour work, as if the sculptures had been aged over time.
We are thrilled with both Repose and Reflection. As soon as we started to position them people were immediately drawn to them.
What Jane has done is incredible.

From start to finish working with Jane to create Isla has been an absolute joy. Jane is a wonderful artist but without the classic artistic temperament!!! She was utterly professional but at the same time embraced the love that makes Isla more than just a project.
From all the measurements to working with her to mould Isla to properly reflect her character has just been great fun. To then see all the steps in the process and to let me be as much a part of it as possible, and to have a glimpse into what is required leaves me full of admiration.
Isla is beautiful, captivating and just, well, Isla.
I cannot thank you enough Jane.

Jane kept me fully informed throughout the sculpting and casting processes. It was a delight to visit her studio for modelling sessions with Captain and to witness the plain clay transform into such amazing sculptures.
The sculptures were an anniversary gift for my wife and she was absolutely thrilled when I unveiled them.

I commissioned Jane to make a sculpture of my beloved dog Rufus. The likeness is amazing and when it was revealed to the family, there were tears everywhere. I can highly recommend Jane for any commissions, she is truly an amazing artist.
