Jane sees her work as a continual exploration into the possibilities within the technique of enamelling and indulging in the wonderful range of colours available to her. In some of the work she is interested in soft subtle harmonies of colour, reflecting observations from nature. At other times the richness and vibrancy of colours provokes a more personal imagery.

Her present work combines the techniques of engraving with enamelling in the form of champleve and basse taille, where areas of metal are removed and filled in with enamel - the background of these areas are carved with detail which shows through the enamel producing a rich and painterly effect. She is currently exploring the effects of contrasting areas of carved and engraved metal with areas of enamel.
