Jane Slivka transplanted to beautiful Mount Dora, Florida in 2004. Originally from Ohio, she often dreamed of the ocean and wrote poems about the scenes she now creates for all of us to enjoy. Jane takes her viewers on a journey through layers of acrylic paint on over sized canvases to discover a world beyond what a picture could possibly capture.

Originally, Jane mastered the artistry of watercolor. Focused on this medium, she attended Endicott Junior College in Boston, Massachusetts, graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Art Education, and studied for a semester in Florence, Italy. The day Jane decided to try acrylics, she felt absolutely liberated!! Since that moment, she has been exploring, teaching, and motivating others to express artistically through painting with acrylics.

Jane Slivka now discovers new inspirations for her portfolio every day at the beaches in sunny Florida, from her love of people and culture, and through the play of shadow and light on old buildings. A truly gifted artist, she brings paint to life with ease and elegance. For the latest off the easel, come visit her at her Studio / Gallery in Historic Downtown Mount Dora, Florida!
