JV09 16" x 7"Jane Voorhees earned her BFA from the University of Kansas and her MA in printmaking from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. She teaches printmaking and painting at the Kansas City Art Institute, shows regularly around the country and has just finished her fourth solo show at SOHO20-Chelsea NY. Her work can be found in many important collections, including: The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Nerman Museum, Spencer Museum of Art, Hallmark and Sprint.
Jane was part of the Change the Truth volunteer team that accompanied me to Uganda in 2007. For ten days she gave art lessons to the children and coaxed some really wonderful work out of them. Jane’s experience with the kids was profound, and she has continued to be an active and loving supporter of them. Letters from many of those children arrive regularly at Change the Truth headquarters (my house!) addressed to “Mama Jane.”
I’m a big fan of Jane and her work and am so happy she agreed to take part in this project by making this pretty ballerina.
To see the full scope of Jane's work, please visit her beautiful website.
