Jane Weaver
Jane was a British painter and printmaker whose love of art shaped both her career and her community. After earning her degree, she completed a postgraduate teaching qualification in art, followed by further postgraduate study at Brighton Art College, where she studied printmaking and lithography under the renowned printmaker Harvey Daniels.
Jane taught art for more than fifty years, inspiring generations of students while becoming a respected figure in Brighton's artistic community. Passionate about making art accessible, she organized inclusive annual exhibitions that welcomed artists of all backgrounds and experience levels from across the Brighton area.
After her children left home, Jane and her husband, fellow artist John Weaver, devoted themselves once again to painting. Together they participated in local art festivals, where Jane exhibited and sold her original paintings, prints, and greeting cards.
Jane's work received national recognition when she won second prize in the Giles Bequest Competition organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, where her award-winning print remains in the museum's permanent collection. Her paintings continue to celebrate the beauty of nature through expressive color, gentle composition, and a lifelong passion for creativity.
