Jane Harington
Jane Harington is a Saskatoon-based painter known for expressive oil paintings that explore the emotional resonance of landscape, florals, and place. Her international upbringing and later move to Canada inform her relationship to the Saskatchewan landscape, giving her paintings a layered sense of memory, distance, belonging, and longing. Working primarily in oils, Harington paints both en plein air and in the studio, drawing from direct observation, images, memory, prairie terrain, tangled brush, cut flowers, and large bouquets of blooms. Her paintings are recognized for their loose, gestural brushwork,
thick paint application, energetic mark-making, and bold color. She approaches the natural world through sensation as much as representation,
allowing the subject to open into mood, movement, and emotional association.
