Art In Canada - Canadian Artists

Canadian Artist Jane Romanishko

Jane Romanishko, ASA, was born in Russia in 1964 and is a graduate of the College of Art Education in Siberia. As well as the 4 years of study involving art history, painting and drawing in European traditions, Jane also holds a Masters Degree in Architecture. Before finally settling in Canada, Jane lived in Estonia and the United States. Being equally proficient in oil, watercolour and pastel allows her to be a versatile artist and teacher. Her professional accomplishments include the founding of Airdrie School of Art, co- founding of The Airdrie Artisans Holiday Market and Airdrie Regional ARTS Society. She has participated in numerous group shows, as well as solo exhibitions. Her work can be found in many private collections throughout North America, Europe and Australia. She travels extensively through Russia and Stan countries, China, Vietnam, Australia and Mexico. With her backpack and camera, she loves to go to the hidden places of the world, unspoiled by technology and tourists. This is where she gets her inspirations for people, nature and places that she paints.
