Artist Statement:
Jane Hubbard Jennings, a lifelong “maker” of all things art, has spent the past 10 years working with fiber as an art form. The rich, vibrant colors of Indonesian hand-dyed cotton fiber has lured her into applying the fabrics onto box forms. The resulting original art is varied and unique, marked by the strength of the design elements and the patterns in the fiber itself. Additionally, Jane creates unique scultpures using found objects, clay and fabric for the wall or tabletop. T
Jane Hubbard Jennings lifelong love of creating art has spanned from traditional media to unlikely use of found objects as sculpture. Over a 35 year span as an art professional, she finds the greatest joy in creating pieces that make people think, make people smile and make people surprised.
