Jane Kell is a British painter who currently lives and works in London. She has a BA Honours in the History & Theory of Art from Essex University and worked for many years in PR, including roles such as Publicity Director of Phaidon Press and Head of Press at the National Gallery in London.  When she started to paint in 2010 it felt very natural her first pictures were still-life and landscapes influenced by British painters like William Nicholson, and Mary Fedden, where colour and light were the focus.

After over a decade of painting and teaching art she she still enjoys painting still-life and landscapes but tends now to work on a larger scale.   Her interest in colour and light remain but now her focus is on how these elements work in an abstract context.
