                                     JANE CRAKER: "SPIRITS & FLOWERS"
                                     DECEMBER 2. 2022 - JANUARY 1, 2023
 The vibrant paintings in this, Jane Craker’s first show at 510 Warren Street Gallery, bring memories of life’s experiences into fruition. With flowers, creatures and objects from daily life, this artist guides us into connections to those times when our daily lives were filled with vivid color. These spirited paintings were inspired by the intrinsic energy and beauty that surrounds her and symbolize the essence of home.
“They evoke memories and sentiments of things that complete me on a deeper level.”
Craker’s influences include works by Chagall, Vlaminck, Emil Nolde and others for whom color, form and emotion are links to express the experience of movement and aliveness. Craker has found these to be guides along the way in her journey as a painter along with her education and work experiences.
She attended the Interlochen Arts Academy experimenting with different media and went on to the Rhode Island School of Design to major in Illustration. After college, she landed in NYC working as a shoe designer for Reebok and Candies then started a T-shirt company selling to Barney’s and Urban Outfitters. From an early age, art has given her an outlet for expression and a means by which to connect to the world around her. This show of her acrylic paintings and prints is a showcase and a map of that journey.
