Get to Know

Jane rediscovered her passion for art in 2003. Her love of North Dakota and the wildlife she sees is a theme repeated in many of her paintings. She likes to take odd objects- a wedge of bark, the skull of a buffalo, an old window- and use them as a canvas for the images conceived by her mind and heart. Dakota Blessings Art Studio was built in 2009, and the new bookmark and jewelry line began ! Jane's art reflects her soul, whether through the simple pose of a beloved dog or through the movement of music and scripture she has combined in a mixed media work. She is an art instructor with the NDCA, Fish and Wildlife Service-Junior Duck Stamp Program, and is co-founder and facilitator of the Kenmare Summer Arts Institute. Please contact her and let her create a one-of-a kind piece of art for you!
Sarah is an art major at Jamestown College, specializing in Art Therapy- she has a passion for charcoal drawings, a love for animals, books, music, and inspires those around her with her artistic talents and kind heart.
