   Jane Carter, Artist

I’m so glad to have you view my art, and welcome to my web site.

I started painting 30 years ago while living in Connecticut and being a stay-at-home mom. But after three years I got discouraged and turned to an interior design career. Then, on moving to South Carolina in 1989, I itched to paint again and have been doing so for the past 20 years.

Watercolors were my medium until a few years ago when I discovered that oils were so joyous. So now I produce my water media (watercolors, pastels and acrylics) and my oils in my beautiful Art Barn in North Carolina.

I've become more and more enamored with abstracts and find great joy in creating them. I also find the painting on Yupo paper allows my creative muses much freedom while bringing great success in national show entries.

I have won several awards ... Boring. Within the last two years, I've become a Signature Member of the Watercolor Society of North Carolina, a Signature Member of the South Carolina Watermedia Society, and a Signature Member of The Georgia Watercolor Society, and that is not boring; that is very exciting, at least to me, my family, clients and friends. Also, I’ve been published in Watercolor Magic and been on the cover of several magazines. My paintings hang in homes throughout the country and in England (where I lived on two separate occasions) and it always delights me to see people enjoying them.

I have taught art classes and workshops in England and South Carolina, and as of this writing, have had eight one-woman shows.

I am very proud of my recent achievement with the Southern Watercolor Society, which selected my painting, "Cheese Shop" for use as their invitation cover art! The formal invitation, to be produced en masse, will be used to promote Southern Watercolor's Annual Opening and galas in 18 states. This is a huge honor for me as my art was selected from all of the artists displaying in the show!

I am also now a Signature Member of the Southern Watercolor Society, having been juried into my third show with them.
