Jane Hickman has been making Batik paintings and designs for the past twenty years.  She was first introduced to the technique when studying at Art School.  In the early 1980s she began to produce her first Batik paintings and to sell them through galleries and craft exhibitions.

In 1986, together with her husband, she moved from Oxford to Herefordshire to set up her own studio.  In 1987 she produced her first range of greetings cards and this range has continued to develop.  More recently she has been producing a range of prints based on her Batik designs and Ken Hickman's paintings.
