Jane's practice encompasses a desire to explore, and pushes us to realise our deeply symbiotic relationship with the world around us.
Jane Hunter SSA VAS is a contemporary artist whose work revolves around themes of landscape, nature, and place, exploring our deeply symbiotic relationship with the environment. Based in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute since 2022, her artistic practice has evolved from detailed interpretations of maps and geology to more profound explorations of belonging and connection.
Professional Recognition
Jane's work has been exhibited in galleries throughout Scotland and is held in private collections worldwide. Her pieces have earned places in several prestigious permanent collections, including the National Museum of Scotland, British Geological Survey, Raasay Distillery, and KPMG Edinburgh. She is an elected professional member of both the Scottish Society of Artists and Visual Arts Scotland.
Artistic Evolution
Jane's creative journey began in 2012 when she established a business with her partner creating textile-based homewares. These designs caught the attention of a gallery, leading to her first solo exhibition the following year. Since then, her practice has expanded and deepened, particularly following her relocation to the Isle of Bute, where the rhythm of tides, changing seasons, and community connections have profoundly influenced her work.
