Jane Carkill is a graduate of Textile Art, Critical Theory and Professional Arts Practice living in the west of Ireland. As an artist, flora and fauna have always been the ultimate inspiration for her work. She has a preference for natural ephemeral beauty and intricate detail, fascinated by the precise style of illustration seen in the 1800's referenced for scientific accuracy. Her ultimate goal is to combine her passion for narration, observation and listening into the material essence of drawing.
