Jane Adams was born in Vancouver. She entered the Chelsea School of Art and later the Slade School of Art. After returning to Vancouver, she studied at the Vancouver
School of Art for three years under Jack Shadbolt, Roy Kiyooka and Don Jarvis. In 1965, she was awarded the Staff Scholarship and continued to win awards and scholarships, including the Leon & Thea Koerner Foundation Grant and four Canada Council
Bursaries.
"Throughout my painting life, all of my works, mostly rendered on canvas and paper are very much representative of my life, the time of year and most of all, the place where I live. I have always drawn my inspiration from nature. The
artist's job, I believe, is to awaken the viewer's eye to investigate a visual idea and see something totally new in an ordinary subject."
