A nationally recognized artist, Jane is a Signature member and won awards in Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society and Plein Air Painters of New Mexico.

Originally from northeastern Pennsylvania, Jane began a lifelong love of travel and painting at an early age, taking her first oil painting class at the age of 10. She helped put herself through art school by doing portraits, establishing an early skill at the human figure. She believes in plein air painting as an essential part of her ongoing development as a painter. Using a traditional approach, she completes small studies on location, using them as reference material for her studio work. 

Jane Chapin has also exhibited her work in private galleries and museum shows and events internationally, including the Booth Western Museum, Fechin Museum, Salmagundi Club, European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in Barcelona, Spain, and the Coors Western Art Show. She has also served as a juror for regional shows and as an instructor in both classroom and private venues. Two published books of her paintings “Land of the Free” feature her plein air and landscape paintings. Her work hangs in permanent corporate, university and private collections.
