Jane E Porter is a Scottish artist who doesn’t like to draw.  She paints, collages and mixes media to create multi-layered narratives that blend raw emotion, urgency and a touch of rebellion.  Based in the northeast of Scotland, Janee’s work explores complex themes including, environmental change, fragility and resilience.

In 2004, she graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, building a solid foundation in traditional techniques like drawing, anatomy, and oil painting. After failing a digital elective in her third year (and being forced to resit), Janee begrudgingly became a Photoshop pro. What started as a challenge turned into a powerful skill, allowing her to blend fine art with digital design and illustration.

Throughout her career, she has curated and exhibited in diverse projects, including High White Light, featuring renowned Scottish artists like John Bellany, Calum Colvin, and John Byrne. She has also worked as Radio Producer and Makeup Artist for The Tidemills Project (a wild, outdoor community art show) and Curator and Art Consultant for the Heart of Hollywood Tour in London.

Janee's work has been showcased in galleries worldwide and is held in private collections across the globe. It has gained recognition from notable figures, including Alex Salmond, former First Minister of Scotland, who purchased her piece ‘Westminster No More’ and Dr. Jessie Voigts of Wandering Educators, who remarked, ‘Sometimes, an artist possesses a unique talent for delving into their subject, revealing aspects unseen by others and offering a glimpse into the soul.’

Right now, Janee is engaged in a new project exploring the profound impact of climate change. Through her art, she seeks to inspire meaningful conversation about the environment and promote hope, while pushing the boundaries of her creative practice.
