Renowned artist Jane Troup's richly layered oils and luminous gouache paintings range from dreamlike landscapes and surreal scenes to entrancing patterns.

Her images breathe with the moods and life-affirming cycles of her surroundings, reflecting the gentle diversity found in the ancient hills of her Southwestern Missouri home. "I feel that beauty is the visual form of truth, and I strive to express this through images of nature."

Whatever the subject matter, Jane's highest aspiration is to create objects that inspire.
