Jayne Seddon is an artist and educator based in the North West of England. Her practice explores the connection between art, health, environment and recovery. Education includes MA Art as Environment, Manchester School of Art (2013).
Jayne makes paintings with layers of refined minerals, collected while walking. She is drawn to places where nature has reclaimed and restored the site. The paintings document seasonal change, connecting the internal and external landscape. The pieces embody transformation as raw materials are alchemised through artistic process. The resistance of the elements with oil paint create deep tonal ranges; seams traces, and patterns that connect ancient geology with chemistry and colour. The work offers space to explore colour and a psychogeography of the subconscious.
Jayne has been commissioned for over twenty years by public health, conservation, cultural and educational organisations. Roles include Lead Artist on a creative engagement project for Lancashire Wildlife Trust. The Carbon Landscape Partnership celebrates the transformation of post-industrial landscape into vast areas of wilderness, supporting abundant and well-connected habitats for wildlife and community use.
Jayne has worked collaboratively with a range of schools and cultural partners to develop and deliver art projects. She runs Art School at The LIPA School in Liverpool, workshops combining art with natural history, aligned with cultural events across the north.
