JANE HUNTER
Artist
ABOUT
At MŌR Studio, we are continually drawn to artists whose work feels both elemental and intimate. Jane Hunter is one such practitioner. Her paintings emerge from a profound attentiveness to landscape — not as something observed from a distance, but as something lived within. Geology, weather, shoreline and soil are not subjects in her work; they are collaborators.
Jane’s early practice translated topographical and geological mapping into detailed visual languages. That cartographic impulse remains, yet her paintings now map something less visible — experience, memory and emotion. Working slowly, she stains canvas and paper with diluted pigment, pulling and tilting the surface so that colour pools, settles and intersects. Each translucent layer is allowed to dry before the next begins, creating works that hold time within them.
Increasingly, her materials deepen this relationship to place. Natural pigments grown, foraged and extracted by hand , planted and cared for by her on her home island of Bute, Argyll, sit alongside synthetic media, acknowledging both environmental responsibility and lived reality. What results is a body of work rooted in care, process and belonging — a quiet, powerful conversation between artist and earth.
