Jane Guthridge - Artist Statement

I do not paint literally what I see, but the emotion it produces in me.
I express these emotions through color, line and texture.

Jane Goethel Guthridge lives in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. She was educated at Kent State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She continued her studies with Armin Hoffman and Paul Rand in Brissago, Switzerland. She later attended the Art Students League of Denver. Her work has been described in The Pastel Journal by Maggie Price as “rich layers of color reminiscent of batik work or a fine tapestry... patterns of trees and foliage, intricately interwoven branches and creative color usage make for appealing images in which the subject is often subordinate to the feeling of the painting.” She has been included in many group and solo exhibitions and has received numerous awards. She was recently selected to exhibit her work in “The International Biennale of Contemporary Art” in Florence, Italy, M.I.A.D Venado Tuerto, Argentina and the books “American Art Collector” and “Arte Euroamericano”. Her work is contained in the collections of Colorado State Bank and Trust, Kaiser Permanente, Morgan-Charles, Peak Public Relations, and Sigler Communications.
