Hell by Jane Mudd is currently on view in the Betty Art Robbins Gallery of CAL Tuesday-Saturday, 12-4 PM.
CAL aims to help artists succeed, whether that's offering skill building classes, the opportunity to exhibit work in our gallery, or sell work in our Gift Gallery. Our Artist on Display series invites you to get to know our artists a little bit better!
About the artist
JM: I live on a farm East if Fulton. When I moved here from StL in ‘77, I continued to make art while raising a family and working various social work jobs. In 1994, I received an MFA from MU. I recently retired from William Woods as Assistant Professor of Art.
A Life in the Arts
JM: I’ve worked in all the traditional media, but for the most part, oils. I’ve explored numerous themes, approaches and art processes; from alla prima, to exploring grisaille and glazing.
JM: Main subjects are landscapes, portraits and still life’s, as well as storytelling and re-storytelling.
JM: I have been an advocate for the arts for a long time and have organized and hung hundreds of exhibits for other artists -at WWU, Orr Street Studios and the Art House in Fulton.
Exhibiting work
JM: The drawing for The Figure show was from a model who was willing to get into the fetal position for me. It’s a universal pose everyone can relate to -especially this year.
JM: I have been involved with the Columbia Art League for a long time (since the 80’s I think). It has been a wonderful venue for showing work, and learning from and getting to know other artists. The theme shows are challenging and fun -The best part is seeing everyone else’s work.
