Jane Dickson
Artist member since 2020
Millet, Alberta
Jane Dickson, was born in the sixties and raised on a farm in Southern Ontario. She loved to colour and draw as a child, but it wasn't until many years later that she discovered her passion for intuitive painting.
This unplanned approach to her art allows for a collaboration between her uncensored imagination and the invisible world of spirit. She begins each piece by creating an acrylic abstract base. Eventually, a face or figure will appear in the paint and she works with mixed media to reveal the story that's waiting to be told.
"For me, intuitive painting is a magical practice and feels like I am co-creating with some hidden force. The mystical nature of this painting process has been life-changing, and I'm delighted to be able to share it with you."
Jane has been included in juried shows like the Pelham Art Festival and the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair. She has also participated in several Art Battles and been featured in ArtAscent Journal. Her paintings can be found in homes and offices across the country.
Jane currently resides on the prairies of Alberta where she continues to enjoy her studio practice.

Curious, imaginative, spiritual seeker
When did you start making art, and why?
I started painting during a time of grieving and I quickly realized the healing power of creative expression. Intuitive painting is a reminder of the mysterious force that guides our lives. It can be a spiritual practice, a healing modality, a meditation, and just plain fun! It can also be used as an oracle, providing insight and inspiration.
