Jane Ellen Horner

Columns:

Installation, Abstract Paintings & Assemblages

For those of you who haven't had a chance to see Jane Ellen Horner's show (and those who would like to see it again) we have extended it through this weekend. Special hours: Sat. 2-4 pm and Sun. 12-4 pm at the Beaufort Art Center, 204 Turner Street, Beaufort, NC.

Jane Ellen Horner, firmly established as one the leading Vermont based visual artists, has recently returned to North Carolina after living in New England for 40 years. Her mediums are painting, drawing, installation and assemblage.

Jane’s artwork is informed by process. It is exploratory and naturally ebullient work that is beyond product. Both the installations and the paintings are entirely grounded by the earth and yet impart at least a hint of some world far from our own; from seed to star, profane to sacred. The collections and assemblages are gatherings of disparate nature-made and man-made objects, which convey a time-stretch as artifacts.


Her use of light, a keen understanding of color, and a quest for elegance of form is consistent throughout her work. There is also a never-ending air of discovery that clearly illustrates the ability to integrate knowledge, wisdom and skill to realize her personal vision.

Jane earned a Master of Fine Arts from the UNC Greensboro, and is the recipient of several grants and fellowships. Her work is widely shown in galleries and universities. Bank of the Arts in New Bern is currently showing her work. To see more of her work visit her website: www.janehornerartist.net

Hours: Thursday-Saturdays 5-8 pm, Sundays 5-7 pm and by appointment. For more information call 252-622-8416 or 802-734-1002.
