I'M JANE BEISELL
As a Pacific Northwest native, nature is at the heart of my creative practice. I work in mixed media, combining watercolor, acrylics, and ink with real pressed botanicals — flowers, leaves, and moss preserved and layered into textured compositions. My work celebrates the delicate beauty and resilience of the natural world, particularly the intricate details of wildflowers and the Pacific Northwest landscapes they inhabit.
My artistic foundation began with calligraphy, then calligraphy brush painting, which taught me to appreciate fine lines and deliberate mark-making. Over time, I expanded into acrylics and watercolor, eventually arriving at my current practice: an evolving exploration where traditional painting techniques meet the organic textures of preserved flora. Each piece is both a painting and a botanical specimen—an homage to the ephemeral beauty I find in nature.
I continue to refine my approach through a blend of formal training and self-directed learning, drawing inspiration from online communities and contemporary mixed media artists. This keeps my practice fresh and connected to the wider art world.
In my debut year working with botanicals, The Tamaracks' Quail was jury-selected for the 2024 Chewelah Winterfest for the Arts—an exciting milestone in my growing journey. For me, creating art is an immersive, joyful process, and I hope that joy resonates with those who experience my work.
