Jane Alexandra Walsh exhibits in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area and has over 550 works in private collections around the world. Her artwork explores the temporal qualities of light and time in the landscape. Jane works in both a representational style, from observation, and also uses a mixed media collage technique to transfigure the figurative expression of the natural world into more complex, stacked and spliced, abstracted compositions.

Jane completed her MFA in Studio Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2006. Also she earned an M.A.T. from MICA in Art Education in 1993. She graduated from Smith College with a B.A. in Studio Art in 1981.

Jane teaches at the M.C.P.S. Visual Art Center, an honors level art program, located at Albert Einstein High School, in Montgomery County, Maryland and has worked as a teacher in Montgomery County Schools for over ten years (1993-2006.) In 1995 she received the “New Art Teacher of the Year” Award from the Maryland Art Education Association. Previous to her career in public school, Jane taught through the National Park Service Educational program (1990-97) at Glen Echo Park where she was an “Artist in Residence” from 1990-1993. She became a teacher after working in publishing and advertising. She worked in the art and illustrations departments of the National Geographic Magazine, the Traveler Magazine and the Cartographic Department of the National Geographic Society (1983-1989)

Jane Walsh has traveled and painted extensively in England, Greece, Ireland, Maine, New England and on the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia. Her latest body of work explores light, space and time using watercolors and collage through an extensive investigation of a small forest environment next to her home.
