Edgewater Gallery at the Falls, One Mill Street, Middlebury

In Jane Davies’ latest collection of work she continues creating abstract mixed media paintings that grow from a vocabulary of elements of abstract painting; color, line, shape, texture, and pattern and the excitement of finding a common thread in a disparate group of gathered materials. 

Beyond the passion and satisfaction Davies finds in the art making process in “Re-Assembly” she considers ideas of recycling, specifically her art discards left from previous projects but more broadly the theme of holding ourselves accountable for the condition of the planet and the importance of doing all we can to preserve it, balancing our place in it. Davies wrestles with the challenge of finding a way to “piece together something workable” from the ongoing social, cultural, and political upheaval of the time. “Re-Assembly” reflects the complexity of making art in these times but also the joy in extracting beauty and order in today’s world.

Jane Davies has her studio in Rupert Vermont.  Beginning as a potter in the early nineties, Davies transitioned into freelance art, using painting and collage as her medium. Since 2010 she has been teaching abstract painting workshops in North America and online, as well as making art full time. She has written five instructional books, produced one instructional DVD, and offers many demonstration videos on social media.
