-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jane Baldwin spent her entire life in Spokane where her work grew and evolved over many decades in the arts.  Working in several mediums, her reputation rests on the superb wood-cuts of the 1930's and 1940's depicting the scenes of everyday life in and around Spokane.

Her art training was completed at Washington State College where she studied with George Laisner and Glen Wessels, a protégé of Hans Hoffman.

Most of the paintings that she executed during her early years are in watercolor or other water-based materials such as gouache and tempera which were favored by many other Northwest artists of this period.

Around the mid-1940's, her work started incorporating the ideas and techniques of European Modernism. As she experimented, her work became increasingly abstract although still retaining some form of figurative element.

Jane Baldwin had exhibited nationally at institutions such as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia Print Club, Library of Congress, San Francisco Museum of Art, Seattle Art Museum, Portland Art Museum, Wichita Art Museum, Laguna Beach Art Association, Denver Art Museum and the Oakland Art Museum.

A representative collection of her work can be seen at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture in Spokane.
