(Opening Reception) Jane Turner: The Evolution Of An Artist - Paintings & Sculpt
Fri Feb 12, 7:00 PM - Fri Feb 12, 9:00 PM

Jane Turner is a self-taught artist and resident of the historic African American community of Eatonville. She began her artistic journey in 2006 after retiring from a 30 year career in social work. She is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute (University) in Alabama. Though her paintings are self-taught, she pursued sculpture and photography instruction at Crealdé School of Art as well as figurative sculpture and bronze casting at The Maitland Art Center, where she shared her work in a 2018 solo exhibition. Turner’s work is deeply narrative, rich with themes of social justice and depictions of historic events blended with her experiences of life as an African-American woman. The paintings in this exhibition will give the viewer a glimpse of what is in the heart and mind of this strong and talented woman. She signs her works “Jane Lily” or “Jlily” to honor her ancestors. Curated by the Barbara Tiffany and the artist.
