THE ARTIST

Jane Carter, artist

I’m so glad to have you view my art, and welcome to my web site.

I started painting 30 years ago while living in Connecticut and being a stay-at-home mom. But after three years I got discouraged and turned to an interior design career.

Then, on moving to South Carolina in 1989 I itched to paint again and have been doing so for 19 years.

Watercolors were my medium until a few years ago when I discovered that oils were so joyous. So now I do my water media (watercolors, pastels and acrylics) and my oils I in my beautiful Art Barn in North Carolina.

I've become more and more enamored with abstracts and find great joy in creating them. I also find the painting on Yupo paper allows my creative muses much freedom while bringing great success in national show entries.

I have won several awards and you can find a link to them at the bottom of the page. Boring. Within the last two years, I've become a Signature Member of the Watercolor Society of North Carolina, a Signature Member of the South Carolina Watermedia Society, and a Signature Member of The Georgia Watercolor Society, and that is not boring; that is very exciting, at least to me, my family, clients and friends. Also, I’ve been published in Watercolor Magic and been on the cover of several magazines. My paintings hang in homes throughout the country and in England (where I lived on two separate occasions) and it always delights me to see people enjoying them.

I have taught art classes and workshops in England and South Carolina, and as of this writing, I’ve had eight one-man shows.

I’ve divided my art groups by medium but not by price, size, framing or subject matter.

Thank you for coming here and please browse to your heart's content, contact me if you like, and just enjoy!
