About the Artist

Jane Barnes creates vibrant digital artwork that blends imagination, color, and playful storytelling. Although her pieces are created on an iPad using an Apple Pencil, the images are primarily hand drawn, much like traditional sketching or painting. Each work begins with simple lines and gradually develops through layers of color, texture, and experimentation.

Her subjects range from whimsical characters and expressive faces to surreal images and peaceful landscapes. Some pieces are inspired by places she has visited, while others grow entirely from imagination. She enjoys allowing unexpected shapes and colors to guide the direction of a piece as it evolves.

Digital tools allow her to experiment freely while still maintaining the personal, handcrafted feeling of drawing. The result is a collection of images that are colorful, curious, and often a little surprising. Through her work, she hopes viewers will pause, look closely, and perhaps discover a moment of humor, wonder, or reflection.

A longtime Leonia resident, Jane devoted 39 years to the Leonia Library before retiring in 2021. She is now enjoying a new career as Program Coordinator at the Teaneck Public Library.
