Jane Cochrane - MA Fine Art

Having lived in the south, south-west and now east of the UK, Jane is keenly aware of the local colour and palettes - for example, the bluer-blues and redder earth of Devon and Cornwall compared with the more subdued shades of East Anglia.

After a public policy and management consultancy career, Jane followed her heart and became a full-time artist in 2015. In 2023, she returned to university to study for an MA Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts.

Jane's first solo show was held in Saxmundham in 2020, and in March 2025, her work was included in the annual exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour at the Mall Galleries. Jane also exhibits across East Anglia, including Art Fair East and the Suffolk Art Society.
