Jayne Thomas Exhibition 2009 June 20 - July 2

The Quest for Beauty

Jayne Thomas

"Representation of people is central to my work.Their faces, gestures, clothing and possessions all have a story to tell revealing aspects of the person within the shell. To freeze and transfer a moment. To capture a persons life. To give a visual representation is not a summary and definitely not all there is to that person and it is not possible to read an individuals life in one image because we are made up of layers and we are complicated. I'm searching for the blueprint, the mark of the maker, the beginning of what we become."

Jayne Thomas NZ Figurative artist from Kaipara
Born in the UK but immigrated with her parents to New Zealand. Settled in Henderson however Jayne now resides in Helensville. Formal training consists of one year partime painting at Hungry Creek Art and Craft School and then full time at Manukau/Rutherford doing a certificate in "Visual Arts". Jayne works mainly in oils and encaustic and the subject matter is generally about humanity/people looking at anonymity and what creates it. Jayne has since taught art at a Get Creatives Suburban Titirangi program and this year is furthering her practice whilst continuing study.
Listed below are all the works from the show.

Jayne Thomas is on the cover of New Zealand Favourite Artists volume 2.
Edited by Denis Robinson this is a veritable feast of New Zealand's favourite artists and Jayne is thrilled to be included in it. The book will be available during the exhibition priced at $NZ49.90
