Biography from City of Ventura Municipal Art Collection:
| Artist Jane McKinney paints with the goal of evoking a sense of the beautiful and the sublime in her atmospheric landscapes. Using soft pastels on paper, she conjures lush landscapes inspired by morning and evening light and shadows. "These drawings are meditations for me as I do them," McKinney says, "and I hope people who see them also recognize and enjoy their dreamlike quality."
McKinney received her master's degree in English from Wake Forest University in North Carolina. Upon moving to California in 1971, McKinney studied at the Brooks Institute of Fine Art for three years.
She continues the arts tradition not only as an artist but also as an arts educator. She currently teaches sculpture to Ventura County School District students through the Artist-in-the-Classroom program.
McKinney has received numerous awards for her work from juried exhibitions at national museums and galleries as well as locally at the Ventura County Museum of History and Art. Her paintings can be found in private collections throughout the United States.
