Inspired by abstract expressionists, Jane Schmidt uses the subject of landscape to explore the edge between abstraction and representation with an emphasis on the expressive use of color.  Using decisive brush marks, Schmidt commingles vibrant colors to create a visual experience for every viewer. 

Schmidt earned a Master of Fine Arts from Arizona State University and has many accolades to her credit.  She was chosen 2005 Emerging Artist by Phoenix Home and Garden Magazine, and selected to exhibit at 2007 Florence Biennale, Florence Italy.  The Florence Biennale is a premier world art event where artists from around the world are chosen by a panel of art critics and historians to exhibit and compete.
