Jane participated as a guest artist for her third season with the Sarasota Chalk Festival.

"This uncommon art form, part performance art and part fine art, is what I love to do, as much as my passion for classical oil Painting.” Jane was born in the U.S. but raised in Europe from Russia to Italy where from an early age she was expossed to the European masters. She returned to the States and studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. She had her first street painting experice in 1991 in Santa Barbara, which under the vision of Kathy Koury, was the first town in the U.S. to bring this artform to the pavements of American cities. Jane has participated in Madonnari festivals throughout the U.S., Mexico & Europe. And of course every year she packs her chalks and joins a handful of American artists to compete in Grazia.
