About the Poster Artist

JANE SLIVKA, Mount Dora

Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Jane Slivka always knew she would be an artist. Educated at Endicott Junior College in Boston and Ohio University, she also studied art history in Florence, Italy. Inspired by the “Impressionist Movement,” its study of light, color and very free interpretation of any subject, Jane’s work is large, colorful, and exciting. Her work exudes energy. “I paint with bold brush stokes and vivid colors and have had much success from exploring nature’s beautiful form and design to create visual excitement,” she said recently.

A regular participant in regional art shows, Jane has also had several solo exhibitions within the last couple of years. Her works are in the collection of the Cleveland Clinic and in many private collections around the world. Jane recently moved from Cleveland, Ohio, to Mount Dora, Florida. When she is not showing or painting, she may be found teaching beginning to intermediate watercolor and acrylic painting classes.
