Jane Fritz

Jane’s passions are wilderness and wildflowers, so most of her landscape and wildflower paintings are from wilderness areas and national parks. Whereas wilderness visionaries and nature writers such as John Muir, Henry David Thoreau, Sigurd Olson and the contemporary Barry Lopez have eloquently expressed their feelings about wilderness with words, Jane attempts to share her emotional and spiritual responses to the natural beauty of the Earth through painting. She believes that wilderness provides contemporary subject matter because only through wilderness appreciation will we work to preserve our natural ecosystems.

Jane taught high school science for eighteen years, but has studied art all her life. Her real inspiration and mentor was the superb watercolorist John Pollock, with whom she studied at Montana State University-Billings in 1996-7.

Jane has traveled and painted in the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, South Korea, Norway, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and the US. Her work is in private collections in the USA, Canada, China, Ecuador, Lebanon and New Zealand. She has exhibited in Manila, Philippines; Billings, MT, USA; Seoul, Korea; and Quito, Ecuador, and she was a finalist in The Artist’s Magazine Competition in 2001. Her work is currently represented by Art and Stones Gallery in Las Vegas, New Mexico. She is a member of the New Mexico Watercolor Society.
