Jane Morris
when I was in high school I was really into formal portraits, and became obsessed with Dante Gabriel Rossetti. this is a copy, or let's say an interpretation, of one of his paintings of Janey Morris, done in pastel. I've been revisiting realistic portraiture and dug up a lot of my old stuff, and now with the wonders of quality digital cameras, I'm finally willing to let it go. this work is not matted, mounted or framed; it is just the pastel drawing itself. dimensions are 11.14" I'm still getting back up to speed on painting realistically, so am not taking custom orders at the moment, or, if I did, they'd have a very loose time frame. And i don't do realistic portraiture. You'd think I'd be good at it, but I'm not. I'm big enough to admit that. However, if you have an old house and want some old-looking paintings of supposed ancestors…I'll see what I can do. I work in acrylic on paper or canvas.

Fine Art and Miniatures by Rebecca Jadway
I graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design with a Fine Arts major, emphasis on painting. I've shown and sold work in galleries, shops and festivals in the area, as well as in Chicago and Cleveland. I founded and run Cross-Media Collective, a 501(c)3 non-profit to help artists and art groups get the assistance they need, be it grants, sponsorship, or just general aid with permitting for events. We are currently fundraising for a permanent location for our events, and a gallery/workshop space, as well as a museum of miniatures, my pet project. You can read more about that at and (currently under construction).
My work is very varied, running the gamut from painting to sculpture, realistic to abstract, massive to tiny. I get bored easily, and inspired easily, and no one would guess that everything I make comes from one person. Most of my work tends towards the figurative, or the anticipation of figures; I make miniature food, furniture and rooms…okay, and figures. My paintings are generally acrylic and almost always figurative. My sculptures are clay, and, again, figurative. I'm a people person, aesthetically, anyway.
I've spent the past three years renovating and decorating a very large, very old, very neglected house. My work with minis was beneficial in planning and executing the look of the house, and though I have no training in interior design, I love decor and architecture, as is evident in my miniatures, and would like to find decorators to work with, perhaps to commission a certain piece for a certain room, or work with individuals who just want an artistic eye or someone to shop with when redoing a room. Sometimes a fresh view or a second opinion is crucial.
