For
more than 20 years Jane Hickman has been painting
using the Batik technique.This process allows the artist/designer
to control coloured dyes when painting on a woven material such
as silk or fine cotton. Water based dyes are used in conjunction
with hot liquid wax to determine where colours appear in the
painting.
Jane Hickman’s formal training was not at all intensive and
she is really a self taught artist/designer.
In 1986 she set up her studio in the Herefordshire countryside.
Since that time she has developed her work and sells through
Galleries,Craft Shows and Flower Shows. If you look through
the following web pages you will see that her main subject is
flowers. Her interest in Flower painting is reflected in her
love of gardening.
In the beginning, she sold only original Batik paintings but
over the past 20 years she has published a range of greetings
cards and a separate range of prints. Her latest venture has
involved having her designs printed onto both silk and velvet
fabric to produce an extensive range of scarves. |
