Bio

Jane started sketching on location in 2009 when she joined the fledgling Urban Sketchers Seattle group at a sketch outing in Volunteer Park. Since then, she has been sketching nonstop and volunteering as an admin with Urban Sketchers in Seattle and internationally. She served seven years on the staff of the quarterly newsletter, Drawing Attention. The practice of sketching on location for over 15 years has given her the confidence to pull out her sketchbook and start sketching just about anywhere. “Travel sketching is the best! It’s not only inspiring, memorable, and endlessly entertaining; it also provides the best souvenirs!”
