Jane Dashley is an artist living and working in Dallas, Texas. A pioneer of the digital fashion space in her early years, (with the blog name “Sea of Shoes”) she has maintained a lifelong practice of drawing and has been creating acrylic paintings since 2019. Her visual language uses animals and food to create a vibrant land of make-believe and play, where darkness always seems to creep into the edges. Her work is held in private collections across the world and has been exhibited by the Dallas African American Museum of Art and Gattopardo Gallery in Los Angeles.
