For nearly two and a half decades Jane Mahon has been using the canvas as a forum for communicating the essence of the human form. Utilizing light and space as agents of translation, the artist bridges landscapes of 17th Century Europe with contemporary subject matter in which commanding and present figures in a characteristic large format invite the observer in on equal ground. Mahon's talent lies in her ability to create engaging works of diverse influence and layered history that provide the viewer with an intimate and moving experience.

As Jane Mahon's daughter it has been my unending joy and honor to witness this process manifest. The opportunity to observe the tender and personal relationship of the artist to her subjects -be them animate or static, tangible or ethereal- has been the greatest gift. Through the years I have constructed in my mind a lucid understanding of the beauty of the world as she perceives it and for this I thank her from the depths of my soul. I offer her this site as a gesture of my gratitude. It is also through this medium that I am attempting to facilitate the experience of her art with others, in hopes that they may enjoy what I have had the privilege to witness for 24 years.
