Photography
photographs that resemble
a painting
Jane was born and raised in Kitchener. Her full time employment, as a Paramedic, led her to the shores of Lake Huron in Bayfield, ON. It is in Bayfield that she took a keen interest in Photography. She challenged herself to learn the skills necessary to capture the beautiful sunsets she was witnessing. She now states, “I see the world in photographs. As I drive along backroads, hike through natural landscapes or witness wildlife, people and pets; my mind tends to naturally frame up images. I am intrigued by the art of photography. It is a means to take what is right in front of us in this world and create a scene that makes you stop and stare for a moment. I enjoy capturing images that warm the heart and bring a sense of calm and peacefulness.” Jane’s style has been described as photographs that look like a painting. Photography is a hobby that brings joy and presence to her life. She is grateful when others find pleasure in her work.
