Capturing Strength and Resilience: Jane Spooner’s Artistic Journey from Graphic Design to Encaustic Mastery

Gloucestershire, UK – 10th October 2024 – Jane Spooner, a rising star in the contemporary art scene, invites art enthusiasts and collectors to immerse themselves in her vibrant world, where each piece resonates with themes of strength, resilience, and nature. With over two decades of experience as a graphic designer, Spooner has transitioned her career to fully embrace her passion for painting, discovering a profound outlet for self-expression and healing through art.


From Design to Dedication: A Creative Transformation

Spooner’s journey into the art world began in the heart of Gloucestershire, where she grew up in a bustling household filled with creativity. As the youngest in a large family during the economically challenging 1980s, her artistic pursuits flourished amid the scarcity of resources. Thanks to her father’s career at a stationery company, Spooner enjoyed a steady supply of art materials, allowing her imagination to thrive. This early exposure to art supplies not only shaped her childhood but also solidified her lifelong dedication to creativity.

“I believe my father nurtured my artistic inclinations, whether knowingly or as a way to keep us engaged. Although I cannot ask him now, I like to think he recognized the spark of an artist in me from the beginning,” Spooner reflects.

Embracing Emotion Through Art: The Encaustic Influence

After navigating through a challenging chapter in her life, Spooner turned to encaustic media—a technique that uses heated beeswax to create stunning artworks. This medium resonates deeply with her, as it reflects the complexities of human emotions. The unpredictable nature of encaustics mirrors the experiences of life itself, where each piece evolves uniquely, embodying the character of its creator.

“Each painting I create tells a story of resilience and transformation. The allure of working with fire adds an exhilarating element to the process, and the natural materials allow me to connect more profoundly with my work,” she explains.

Spooner’s encaustic artworks are not just visually captivating; they serve as a therapeutic practice, enabling her to channel her emotions into tangible forms. Her unique approach results in pieces that invite viewers to reflect on their own journeys, fostering a shared sense of healing.

A New Palette: Acrylics and the Exploration of Femininity

As her life experiences evolved, so did Spooner’s artistic expression. Recently, she has shifted her focus to acrylic painting, concentrating on powerful headshots of women that explore the complexities of femininity. These striking portraits delve into the often-concealed aspects of womanhood, celebrating the strength and resilience that define the female experience in today’s society.

“I want to capture the essence of women who embody strength, grace, and vulnerability. My goal is to portray the resilience I’ve witnessed in many sovereign women throughout my life,” Spooner asserts. Her work serves as a mirror, reflecting the inner battles and triumphs that resonate within every woman, challenging societal norms and expectations.
