Jane Hansford is a contemporary British painter known for her bewitching female figures and enchanted landscapes.

Jane’s work is an exploration of the feminine, mapping a rich and varied terrain – from the bold fantasy selves women have long tapped into through fashion and myth, to the subtle details of a quietly grounded life. Woven throughout are clues to Jane’s personal passions: nature and animals; clothing and costume; art history and visual culture.

Underpinning Jane’s work is a pure enjoyment of drawing, a love of paint, and a childlike ability to run free with her imagination.

Originally trained in ceremonial embroidery, Jane gained a thorough grounding in traditional drawing and painting before going on to gain a first class BA in fine art.
