Painting in New Zealand

Welcome to the website of Jane Elizabeth Cullum, fine artist.

I was born near London and spent my teenage years on the Isle of Wight. After attending university in the UK and Canada I worked for several years as a speech and language therapist in the NHS, and following further postgraduate training, as a freelance dance/movement therapist in private practice.

 For the past 10 years I  have been concentrating on developing my painting practice, and am passionate about the importance movement, nature and creativity in the development of the whole person.

My work is inspired by my travels through the mountains, valleys and coastlines of Wales, Scotland, mainland Europe and New Zealand, and more recently by the beautiful and ancient landscapes of the English-Welsh borderlands where I now live.  
  

I rarely plan out paintings beforehand as I prefer to work intuitively in the initial stages, following the impulse of my feelings about a place or a person, and refining the details of the composition later.
​
After several years of working with water-based media such as watercolour and acrylics, I am now working primarily in oils, and enjoy exploring the possibilities oil paint offer for expression through colour and the building up of form. 

I exhibit regularly, and my paintings have found buyers from as far afield as Peru, Sweden and the USA.

If you would like to get in touch, please do so using the email address on the contact page. Thank you!
