Jane Radstrom is a painter and designer based in Austin, TX.
Work in progress - new drawing for the Girls series experimenting with double exposure. I took hundreds of photos during this shoot. Many are just a slight movement from one picture to the next. This whole series is very influenced by photographic effects and using them as an inspiration to depart from traditional observed reality.  Now, I have to figure out how to finish the drawing.

I’m excited to announce that I am now represented in Austin, TX by Wally Workman gallery! Wally has been instrumental in creating a serious market for art in Austin since the gallery opened in 1980 (32 years!). Some of the pieces from my Girls series will be showing during the upcoming summer group exhibition, “100 Degrees”. The gallery shows some very talented contemporary representational artists. I’m looking forwarding to seeing how my work is received.

Another of the girls series. This one is almost just an under drawing, but there is something that I very much like about it at this stage.

Another from the series of girls. This one may or may not be done.

Another from the series of girl drawings. The yellow liquid is varnish that has been poured on. It adds an ethereal quality and also seals those parts of the paper and drawing so I could paint oil on top. But, I think this one is finished as it is.
