Q&A
What do you want people to do or feel when they encounter your creations?
"I want people to experience a sense of joy and awe."-- Jane Guthridge
Q&A
What motivates and inspires you?
"The abundant sunlight and dramatic skies of Colorado have inspired my work. I have always been interested in looking closely at nature and find that the vast areas of wilderness in the West allow for a deeper contemplation of the ethereal qualities of the natural world - the rich colors of
the land, the gentle curve of plants, the patterns of dappled light through trees.
I abstract and reconfigure these patterns to convey the underlying rhythms and harmonies of our environment, creating a space that is somewhere between the real and the imagined."-- Jane Guthridge
