SCULPTURE LIKE 3-D ACRYLIC ON CANVAS TORONTO, CANADA / NASSAU, BAHAMAS Jane Waterous is a renowned multidisciplinary artist with international acclaim, hailing from Ontario, Canada, where she was born in 1959. Her artistic journey began with studies at Queen's University, the Ontario College of Art & Design, and Sheridan College, culminating in an MFA from New York University. Waterous is celebrated for her diverse and dynamic body of work, which includes acrylics, resin, and neon installations. However, she is most famously known for her Gatherings series, which won her the prestigious Solo Artist Award at the 2012 New York Art Expo. These sculpture-like, three-dimensional figures burst forth from the canvas, exuding energy, light, color, and movement. The Gatherings are more than just art; they are a joyful celebration of the Human Spirit, capturing the essence of community, connection, and the shared experiences that define our lives. In addition to her Gatherings, Waterous has also gained significant attention for her Love series. These pieces are infused with deep emotion and are designed to capture the many facets of love—its passion, warmth, and the bonds that unite us. The Love series, like her Gatherings, is characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, but it dives even deeper into the intimate and powerful connections that shape our lives. These works resonate with viewers, evoking feelings of joy, warmth, and the universal experience of love. Jane Waterous herself reflects on her work by saying, “The work you see today is the product of a life lived. It is those past and present experiences that motivate me to create. Everything that matters happens when people come together; life is a series of gatherings and connections that all add up to a life that is lived and loved.” Now residing in the Bahamas, Jane Waterous continues to create art that not only captivates the eye but also touches the heart, celebrating the beauty of human connection and the powerful emotions that bind us together.
