Having taken several of Jane's courses over the last several years I highly recommend them all. You will come away with amazing new techniques and you will be inspired to keep experimenting in your own art practice.
- Heather Smith -
Jane's courses are excellent. She is very meticulous about covering techniques from beginning to end, and, is fearless when it comes to experimenting and working with mixed media. I've really loosened up.
- Shari Ozaki -
Jane's style is so approachable. Her courses are well informed and she introduces a variety of techniques that allow you to stretch your art process. She has a supportive community and it's a wonderful experience.

I love the mixed media techniques Jane teaches, especially her unique paper making processes. They've helped me expand so much. This weekend was also the first time I SOLD art to strangers.

Create collage that's stylish, modern, and sellable
What is the Layer By Layer course?
Layer by Layer is a 5 week [lifetime access] online program for artists who want to learn the art of modern collage, master a resin finish, and create eye-catching, sellable art.
Whether you're new, emerging, or experienced, this mixed media course will cater to your current skill level and help you to transform your art to a professional level.
The Layer By Layer course is taught through 4 modules, plus a BONUS module, released over a 5 week period. Every video contains insightful, comprehensive step by step lessons that build on each other, accompanied by downloadable resources.
Students receive full support by the team, Live Q&A sessions and an optional, thriving community. Jane is actively involved in the private student platform, where she answers questions, provides feedback and shares her knowledge and inspiration throughout the course.
A peek inside to some of the collage papers you'll create in the first two weeks:
Hey there, I'm Jane!
As a self taught artist, I know what it’s like to feel lost, frustrated or overwhelmed with creativity and direction.
I’ve spent over a decade learning, researching and perfecting my skills.
I've experimented with multiple mediums and techniques to create art that's unique, modern, and of professional quality.
This type of art has been the driving force behind my success as a happy, full-time artist.
This experience has also enabled me to help thousands of other artists create gallery-worthy, sellable art.
Many of my students have successfully sold their work online, at art shows and in galleries.
You can imagine the excitement they feel.
I'm here to help you achieve the same level of success.
Let me save you years, inspire your creativity, and increase your confidence, so you can create art you love - and others will want to buy!
“This piece is SOLD.”
Thanks to Jane's courses, the same lady that bought 3 pieces of my art last week, came back and bought another one. An 18"x24" with Jane's paper texture techniques, finished with resin.
