\n About the Artist
\n
\n Jane V. Coder\, a contemporary artist\, was born and educated in Boston\, MA. She holds degrees from Emmanuel College and Harvard University where she studied literature and art. Jane looks for patterns and meaning in the world\, often resulting in abstract\, spiritual and meditative work. Beginning at Emmanuel College where she studied painting and printmaking\, her art has been a source of peace\, comfort and happiness\, increasing her energy of spirit for the past forty years. She works in paint\, oil pastel and collage. Her art has been a visual diary\, inspired by memory\, loss\, emotion\, place and time and often might be called intuitive landscapes. She has exhibited widely and frequently. Her work is found in collections throughout New England\, New York and Florida.
\n
\n In addition to being a visual artist\, Jane Coder is a teacher and poet. She was the owner of Sun Wheel Studios in Swampscott and Salem\, Massachusetts and the publisher of a literary/art magazine\, Garden Lane.
\n The recent paintings exhibited at The Provident Bank in Newburyport\, MA from January to June reflect the influences of her recent life\, which include a move to Amesbury\, MA and living within view of the Merrimack River.
\n &ldquo\;Through the Foliage to the River&rdquo\; was inspired by the view from her bedroom window looking through the leaves of an old maple tree to the river. &ldquo\;Summer Morning on the Merrimack&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Winter Ice on The Merrimack&rdquo\; are also created from the experience of living along the river in summer and winter and the joy and light she finds there.
