Jane Smith is an artist living and working from her studio in Tasman, Nelson

 

Jane works in watercolour, painting ample people going about their daily lives. Her paintings have a gentle humour, and she says her people are "comfortable".

The local landscapes also influence her, and her paintings frequently feature Waimea Inlet, Kina Peninsula and the surrounding mountains and beaches. Her works are perfect mementos for visitors and overseas travellers.
