Jane Harington

Harington describes her work as an exploration of the emotional and gravitational pull of place, from distant horizons and tangled grasses to the lush presence of blooms. She considers the connections between people and the places that sustain them: those known, loved, or longed for. Floral imagery and landscape often overlap in Harington’s practice. Her bouquets can take on the expansiveness of landscape, with blooms, stems, and leaves arranged as fields of movement, color, and atmosphere. Her landscapes, in turn, often carry the intimacy and abundance of the garden, bringing together observation, memory, and painterly invention. Harington earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Great Distinction and Distinguished Exhibition from the University of Saskatchewan. Her art education also includes the Emma Lake Artist Retreat, figure drawing and painting through the University of Saskatchewan Extension Division with Degen Lindner, and watercolor painting with Paul Constable.
