Portraits by jane Lieber mays

The moment between two emotions, facial expressions, or gestures is like the period of rest between two musical notes. It is when we are most open, a time of unselfconscious transition when it is possible to glimpse the soul. Using a contemporary combination of realism and abstraction, I attempt to capture this moment on canvas.

Self-portrait of the Artist

“This moment in time is to be treasured forever – the simple magic of being five and the wisdom and hopefulness of seventeen – brought together by one amazing artist.”
