"Jane Eppel’s work glimpses into the personal space of an artist who celebrates beauty and depth in unexpected places. Her work has been described as “quiet meditations which operate on two intersecting planes that allow the fusion of seeming opposites: privacy and accessibility, the personal and the public, the mysterious and the mundane, the spiritual and the worldly” by Prof. Neville Dubow, opening address of ‘Sanctum’.
What I have my eye on are Jane's copperplate etchings which she has been exploring since April this year. I first discovered these at Marigold, where she has work on display.
