Nature, connection, and compassion thread through Jane Smeets’ artwork. Living in the Fleurieu Peninsula has deepened her relationship with the natural world, with daily sightings providing a sensory immersion from sky to earth, silence to sound, feathers to fur. The choice of media echoes the nature of her content. Organic fluid and liberal application of watercolor are anchored with charcoal and oil pastel bold mark making supporting the image to emerge.
