Born in Glasgow in 1974 and educated at GSA, Jane McCance’s paintings are reflections on nostalgia, memory and renewal.

​

Drawing upon her dual heritage of Scotland’s west coast and the farmlands of Denmark, the landscape-based pieces are in response to the sense of ‘inhaling’ an environment when one stands ‘in’ it; a feeling of not just wishing to ‘look’ but to consume and keep it.

Her still life paintings are an exploration of memory, sometimes bittersweet, but just out of reach – childhood rooms and objects, arrangements, flowers placed there by people we have known; the intangible way in which past and future collide to create forward movement and renewal.
