Jayne Farleigh

Jayne is a self-taught local artist, inspired by her love of local estuaries, and coast lines that she has walked for most of her life.

After taking A level art, she began a career in retail and window dressing. In 2008 Jayne returned to painting, with a determination to make this her full time profession.

Her work has steadily been gaining recognition, and this year she was selected by The Society of Women Artists, to show at The Mall Galleries in London. She also undertakes private commissions, and runs painting workshops and demonstrations locally.

Jayne’s work often captures a moment or feeling at sunset or sunrise. She is most interested in this transitional time of the day. How the sun creates different reflected colours on the water, cloud formations, and the land. She likes to capture how the light bounces, reflects, splatters, and is caught in the scene before her.
