Jane Kathol

Painting

          Jane Kathol Fine Art has international collectors in Ontario, Canada and London, England.  Since 2013, her work has been in four solo shows in SD and NE, and exhibited at Hot Shops (Omaha), Soup ‘R Art (Norfolk), the NE Dept. of Tourism (Lincoln), Cattlemen’s Ball, Rockbrook Art Fair, Main Street Studios (Elkhorn) and Turtle Creek Gallery (Ashland). 

                Kathol’s landscapes encompass the beauty of Nebraska: Tightly rolling hills, abundant groves of trees and wide-open skies, the twists and turns of creeks all speak of the incredible scenery of our diverse state. Her works are original compositions and one of a kind.​

                Smaller works tend to be plein air: crossing barbed wire fences around her farm and sitting amongst the cows in the meadows, painting truly pastoral scenes. For larger pieces, she utilizes her own photography as a basis for compositions and color. Even driving down a dirt road or a highway requires constant attention to the views left and right, off the beaten path.​

                Kathol’s favorite time to observe nature is early morning and evenings, when the light is softer and bends around the objects. The changes of Nebraska weather and seasons also make for constant sources of inspirations.​

                Also available are close-ups of flowers and contemporary art. An expansive background in art history is noticeably influential.  Regardless of the subject matter, it is the element of color that most intrigues her and unifies her work.​
