4 Things I Learned from Sarah Jane
A short course in life drawing was Sarah Jane’s entry into making art. She continued after a summer course with portrait painting and worked towards a diploma.
She was taking commissions and exhibiting while she was a student at the Heatherley where she enrolled as a student, and now teaches
She was rejected from the BP Portrait award exhibition numerous times before being selected and her submission was then used in the publicity and seen around London on posters.
She has committed to exhibiting a new body of work for late 2020 . This has given her a focus for 2020 in terms of production, studio time, and managing the number of commissions she will take on.
