Artist's Statement

Color is my primary motivation for painting. I combine this with my love of nature to depict Cape Cod landscapes. In landscape painting it is the recognition of connections in nature which sparks my interest. A few paces right or left can alter those connections. Thus, the search is as varied and fleeting as nature itself.
Each year I concentrate my work on a particular aspect discovered while on location painting. These have included expanses, edges, distance, patterns, fields, notes, curves and pools. I prefer my exhibitions to be unified with these elements.
My attitude toward my work is to always be a student: exploring new subjects, methods, media and remaining fresh for inspiration.
My most recent concentration on color theory has led to abstract work. This allows for the study of color and shape removed from the influence of nature. This in turn has influenced my landscape work.

Jane Lincoln lives in East Falmouth, Massachusetts and has been painting on Cape Cod and the Islands for over thirty years. She received her BA from St. Lawrence University as a studio arts major in 1972. She was invited to exhibit in the "Fourth Biennial Alumni Art Exhibition" in 1998.
