| Jane
Filer enjoys a simple and isolated lifestyle living in the woods of
North Carolina where she is free to dream and create her art. She also
enjoys self-expression through music and song writing.
Although a Michigan native, Filer grew up in California. She has also lived in Western Australia, Chicago, and Southern Illinois before settling in her "Emerald Forest Home" in North Carolina. Filer’s work can be found in Holland, Japan, India, Ireland, and China as well as New York and New Orleans. Faner Art Museum in Southern Illinois, displays one of Filer’s color etchings in their permanent collection. She has caught the attention of corporations, prints publications and television productions. IBM commissioned Jane to do a sculpture for the D.C. Worldwide Tradeshow, which then went on to win first place. Several of her illustrations have been published in The Sun, Endeavors Magazine, The Prism and through text books. Filer exudes such a contagious enthusiasm, not only about her own work but life and art as a whole, it’s hard not to get caught up in her world. She inspires you to take a second look at things around you, to sharpen your eye and open your mind. Her vision is dusted with fantasy. Her works are funny and sad, real and imaginative, crude and sophisticated. Jane’s artwork speaks for itself. It evokes playfulness in all of us. Among other awards, Filer took first place in the Caldwell Arts Council Sculpture Competition. She has also won the Rickert-Ziebold Trust Award, the highest cash award given to college seniors in the country. She is a sensitive, spiritual and well respected teacher of Art and Free Expression. An exhibition of Jane filer’s painting and sculpture creates an environment provocative of primal forces within all of us, and an expansion of consciousness enjoyed by those open to truth. |
