Printmaker Artist

“I loved this class! Jane’s excitement and passion for printmaking is infectious and we had a lot of fun! Her studio has incredible views of the water and I couldn’t help but be inspired. Informative, encouraging, and suitable for beginners up to more experienced artists. Highly recommend'“.

Since meeting Jane in Innes on a cold, wet and windy bike ride in 2020 she has welcomed me to her island and her art with a passion for nature and print making. This passion has produced a magnificent body of work that also welcomes and introduces the traveller to a community of KI characters including the Australian Fur-Seal, iconic and endangered Glossy-Black Cockatoo, Cormorants, Puffer Fish, Plovers, Pelicans, Honey-Eaters and my favourite the Southern Emu-Wren. By portraying these creatures in print, Jane manages to capture their quintessential spirit peering through a colourful veil of delicate, textured multimedia and they speak to you. You can hear the mournful and prehistoric cry of the Yellow-tail Cockatoo calling you back for another visit.

“The gel printing session at Jane’s Studio 676 was wonderful. We had the opportunity to experiment with botanical printing while overlooking the beautiful Nepean Bay. The Studio and property has a homely feel and the workshop is just as much about the experience as the product. Jane has a wealth of knowledge about all things printing and the small group size allows for easy conversation”.

“I attended a 2 day workshop under the expert guidance of passionate printmaker, Jane Evans. It was a stimulating and enjoyable experience. As a complete beginner, not only did I learn the basic techniques of cutting, inking and pulling a print, but did so in a unique location – Jane’s workshops are held in her studio, which has a stunning view over Kangaroo Island’s beautiful Nepean Bay”.

“Jane has a fabulous studio there with light filled spaces set up for the various processes. We used quality materials and equipment and had plenty of choice when it came to papers, ink, rollers etc. I was immediately inspired by Jane’s beautiful prints and her enthusiasm is contagious. I felt well supported at every stage of the process and encouraged to be adventurous and have a play. I would thoroughly recommend doing the course”.
