About the Painter

Over the years, I have written pages and pages about my paintings.

Jane Vance Sometimes I explain the symbolism of a particular detail or object unfamiliar to most Americans. So many things in Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, and Tibet are not just "dry" things. They are as if soaked in ideas.

Or, I remember an artist whose work I have quoted - Frida Kahlo, Gustav Klimt, or Ganga Devi. I admire their perseverance, and thank them.

In other writing, I take the very interests which you see in these paintings - in ornament, old traditions and rituals, shrines, relics, and sacred objects - back to my earliest memories.
