About the Artist

Jane Knighton,   Glenwood, MD

Jane Knighton Hometown: Glenwood, MD Maryland oil painter, Jane Knighton, is a Baltimore native and considers herself a lifelong artist beginning in preschool, surrounded by family and friends who were painters, sculptors, and designers. As a result of these influences, she had a successful career as an Art Educator for the Howard County Public Schools System in Maryland. She holds advanced degrees in both Art Education and Art Therapy. Currently, she devotes her artistic pursuit of painting full-time both outdoors (plein air) and in her studio. A variety of subject matter keeps her learning and evolving. She prefers painting from observation and finds plein air painting gives her the opportunity to be outdoors; traveling throughout the States and abroad. Realism is not her goal but rather an expression of fleeting moments with color and mark making. As she stands behind her easel responding to the unfolding view, she experiences a freedom and clearing of mind. Time and place evaporate.
