Jane Dwight

Winner of the 2009 Thetis Blacker Scholarship from the Temenos Academy, Jane Dwight is taking her love of Chinese art in a new direction. She will be flying to Indonesia in October 2010 to do some research into the links between Chinese batik motifs and those found in Java and Bali.

Jane’s journey into Oriental Art began with Professor Chen Bin Sun in the Philippines. She was a student in his very popular class and carried on learning with the Malaysian Institute of Art after leaving Manila. Once Jane had gained her Diploma in Chinese Brush Painting she was able to teach, and still does, all across Sussex.

A trip to Beijing to study Lotus Blossom painting with the master painter Cai Xiaoli, and constant updating of skills in classes with world famous Qu Lei Lei mean that Jane can bring new and exciting ideas and innovations to her students.

Jane does workshops all over Britain and gives lectures to the many art groups that are interested to learn a little about this very ancient art forms.
