“Keeper of Songs” © Jane Maclean |
Name: Jane Maclean
Bio: The
connection of art and history was reinforced for Albuquerque artist Jane
Maclean when she became a tour guide for New Mexico’s U.S Senator in the
Capitol building in Washington. The art and architecture of the monument
furthered her desire to paint authentic items that might otherwise never be
seen and appreciated by a wider public.
Jane works
according to the traditions of still life painters of the renaissance, who
created multiple levels of meaning in a painting. In January 2006 three of her
historical still life paintings were unveiled in their permanent home, the
rotunda of Sandoval County Judicial Complex, New Mexico.
Her work has
enjoyed recognition and awards. In MasterWorks 2007 her Tea with Catherine won Best of Show. In winter 2010, her work was a feature of the National League
of American Pen Women magazine. Jane’s work has also served as cover art. Her
image A New View of
the Moon graces a Chinese translation of the original
scientific book, New Views of the Moon.
Jane is a
Signature Member of the Pastel Society of New Mexico, and the President of the
Yucca Branch of the National League of American Pen Women.
Locally her work
can be seen in her studio/gallery in Albuquerque, and at Rose’s Pottery House
in Bernalillo, New Mexico.
