Born in Dublin, artist Jane Meyler lives overlooking the Irish sea in the house where she spent her childhood summers in Rosslare Strand, County Wexford.
Jane is a natural artist, largely self-taught, with a sureness of touch and an innate colour sense which serve her so well in capturing the fleeting effects of sunlight, cloud and wave. Her paintings are peaceful and have a serene beauty. Mostly she works in oils, on location, using a portable paintbox. Using bristle paintbrushes to build layers of paint and create texture, she will also use a palette knife to apply passages of clear brilliant colour, to render facets of wet rock or capture the glint of the sea. At other times, she will turn to pastels for their immediacy and convenience. Jane has achieved recognition in both mediums.
