SaraJane was born in 1976 in Hamilton, Ontario Canada and grew up in Owen Sound on the beautiful Georgian Bay. Since the spring of 2000, after attending Emily Carr Institute of art and design and Fanshawe College, she has devoted herself to learning and growing as an artist. Her interest in the arts began at an early age when she developed a passion for capturing the American coastline during family trips along the east coast. She continued to visit the US as often as possible, finding inspiration in the beauty of its coastal areas for her vivid paintings of seashells, shore birds, and crabs. SaraJane is a signature member of the Oil Painters of America, American Women Artists, and the American Society of Marine Artists. Her work has been included and won awards in prominent juried exhibitions across North America, including the grand prize with the American Marine Artists Rockwell Museum show.
