Jane Skingley, acclaimed for serene landscapes, flowers, and bird paintings, skilfully captures fleeting moments, deriving inspiration from familiar surroundings and daily walks. Her art, designed to evoke a calming ambiance, encapsulates the essence of each place, a shoreline’s sweep or a field’s curve. Skingley’s still life pieces elevate everyday memories, like wild flowers in a jam jar or birds at her table. Exhibited globally, including prestigious venues like the Royal College of Art and Glyndebourne opera house, she undertook a significant WWF climate change commission exhibited at the Houses of Parliament. In 2023, she received the Artist’s Open Studios prize for Berkshire.
