Jane is a British artist based in the Netherlands whose work explores stillness, intimacy, and the quiet emotional language of flowers. Through refined macro photography, fused with a graphic sensibility, she reveals the hidden poetry within nature’s smallest details, transforming petals, textures, and subtle curves into ethereal, contemplative compositions.

Her artistic journey is closely intertwined with her personal one. Moving from the United Kingdom to the Netherlands marked more than a geographical shift. It was a transition into a new culture, language, and rhythm of life. In a world that often felt unfamiliar and in flux, Jane found herself searching for grounding, something steady and quietly constant.

In the Netherlands, flowers are not merely decorative; they are woven into daily life and cultural identity. Surrounded by this abundance, Jane felt drawn deeper into their world. What began as visual fascination gradually became something more personal, a way of seeking hidden forms and moments of beauty.

Macro photography offered her a way to slow down. By looking closely, studying the folds of a single petal, she entered a space of calm observation. The act of delving deeply into her subjects became a meditative process. In isolating small fragments of nature, she found clarity within layers of experience. In studying fragile forms, she discovered resilience. In stillness, she found connection.

Drawn to the delicate and symbolic nature of flowers, Jane focuses on their fleeting forms, each one carrying its own narrative of emotion, transition, and memory. Her lifelong fascination with close-up imagery and fine detail lies at the core of her practice. Through the exploration of texture, colour, and layered form, she creates images that feel intimate and quietly expressive, offering moments of calm, presence, and immersion.

Her work reflects her background in graphic design. Clarity of form, clean structure, and refined negative space allow the natural world to take on subtly abstract, almost sculptural qualities. Working with carefully considered studio lighting and a slow, deliberate process, she balances precision with organic softness. Through minimalist compositions, Jane invites viewers into moments of contemplation, offering space for reflection and personal interpretation.

At its heart, Jane’s practice is about connection. Through close observation, she invites others to rediscover the beauty that exists in quiet details, offering a gentle counterbalance to the fullness of modern life and a reminder that calm can be found when we choose to look closer.

Originally trained in graphic design at Camberwell College of Arts, Jane worked as a designer in London and Amsterdam before establishing her studio practice in Rotterdam. Macro photography became a natural extension of her long-standing love of detail, offering a way to slow down and return to her original creative passion.

Jane’s work has been recognised internationally; she was selected as a finalist for the London Association of Photographers Emerging Talent Award (2023), received a Silver Award in the New York Photography Awards (2024), and won 3rd place in the IPA International Photo Awards in the Fine Art Collage category (2025).
