Jane Selbie
“The wilderness holds answers to questions we have not yet learned to ask.” Alan S. Kesslheim
Jane Selbie lives and creates in Haliburton, Ontario. Her fabric art-based practice is an exploration of nature, in which she engages in an artistic process that is both conceptual and material. In the early years, while developing her technique, she experimented with the fabric medium through quilting, wall hangings and original designs. Over the last fifteen years, Jane’s artistry has developed into the work of a master artist. Her multi-layered fabric renderings of the Canadian landscape and “as found in nature” themes are as evocative and skillful as the work of the most successful of landscape painters. Jane’s artistic alchemy turns fabric into breathtaking and beautifully nuanced works of art.
Jane has worked as a full-time professional fabric artist since 2008 and her work is displayed in galleries and in private collections in Canada and worldwide. She has also taught fabric art at the Haliburton School of the Arts for many years and conducts private workshops.
Jane has long felt the need to step out of her day-to-day life and develop her art in new and experimental directions.
