About Me

My photo
Dans sa peinture, Jane Courquin invite a une balade champetre, fleurie et tout en douceur et lumiere. Sa carte de visite artistique est bardee de diplomes et de ctitiques elogieuses outre-manche et en France. Courquin et son conjoint Nichollas Hamper, tout deux peintres professionnels britanniques, se sont installes a Verteuil-sur-Charente en 2005. Ils ont achete trois granges en ruine, au Coeur du village. Ils les ont patiemment transformees en une tres belle maison mais aussi en ateliers spacieux, ou ils vivent et travaillent.

Painting and Textiles

1920s French Wallpaper

I came across some wonderful old French wallpaper samples from the 1920s that have been invaluable to my work and have become part of one of my paintings from 2012.

Each sample shows a variation in colour way and the green pink and grey one gives a little more information about the design.

I have always enjoyed early 20th century textiles as well as paintings from that era and enjoy the way I can interweave both disciplines through my own work.

My plant pigment sketch is inspired by an anonymous 1930s textile sample in one of my textile books.
