July/August 2013 Exhibition by artist Jane Ostler

Jane Ostler presents a vibrant exhibition of her paintings on silk and printed paper, as well as original poetry. Jane works as Art Development Officer at the Level Best ArtCafe Colchester. She mainly paints in oils and watercolours from her studio in a small space in the back of her garage or in the garden. Her poem on Platform 1: “Sweet Orange” reflects the exhibition themes of crossing geographical and emotional borders. 

Jane believes images have the power to alter our state of mind and art can heal. A main theme of the exhibition concerns the unexpected blessings we can discover on an ordinary day. In this exhibition she engages with the maritime tradition of the sea farer and expresses themes of travel, isolation, and the wonder of being alive.
