02.01.2022 Closing Gala- Plexus Pilgrimage paired visual artwork is Jane Downing's 'Riding on the wings of Grace'. Jane is an abstract painter based in Melbourne and Warrnambool creating colourful, thought-provoking pieces showcasing her passion for colour and expression. Self-taught, she paints from within, from emotions and life experiences giving a sense of freedom for which Jane is extremely grateful. Jane hopes that through her art, the viewer will be moved emotionally and connect with the painting, finding a sense of peace and joy. Adoring all things colour, it is like the colours have their own energy as they conjure themselves onto the canvas. It is a joy to create, says Jane.
