Jane Tadrist

Jane is a committed Blue Mountains maker who exhibits and sells her jewellery and silver work locally and regionally. She is an experienced educator and community artist who specialises in working with young offenders. Jane is also qualified to practice as an art therapist. Her art practice is an ongoing exploration of a sense of place and identity. Collections of work have been inspired by the south coast of England; brutalist modern architecture of British ‘new towns’; distant destinations such as Nepal and most recently the flora of the Blue Mountains. Jane believes that to understand herself she needs to reflect on what has shaped her by examining her environment and that of others
