A full-time Psychiatrist practicing in the Ottawa region, Jane Barlow
has been painting in watercolour for the past 15 years. Finding this media a stimulating challenge with a broad enough potential to keep
her limited time fully occupied, she has chosen to confine herself to watercolour. Its transparency and relatively uncontrollable nature, as
well as its immediacy of response and need for definitive decision making, are what draws her to its challenges. The dilemma of how to
transform her ideas and feelings into a visual image created within the limits of watercolour will be a source of delight and inspiration for
many years to come.
Jane is a Fellow of the Ottawa Watercolour Society, and
has had numerous paintings accepted into Juried exhibitions (2004–2010). She has won four jurors awards with the OWS (2005,2006,2009 and 2010), and has received a 3rd and two 1st prizes for watercolour from the Ottawa Art Association (2007, 2008 and 2009). She is currently the Exhibition Chair for the OWS.
