There are five galleries of original works in Oil Painting and Watercolour, Pastel, Drawing and Printmaking, and also an Archive gallery which features a portfolio of earlier works in all media.
Painter and draughtswoman
"Jane Lewis is an accomplished draughtswoman; however neither accuracy, on the one hand, nor imagination on the other, is enough to create a masterpiece. The elements of the picture must build not only a unity of design but weave a tapestry of meaning. This is where symbolism and suggestion come in, dogs, birds, butterflies, fruit, mirrors, musical instruments, masks, even impassivity itself; all have their secondary meanings, and in Jane’s case, all are part of a narrative thread loose enough to free the visual imagination from the restraints of reason."
