With training in both ceramics and jewellery making, Jane Frances Reilly brings to life her surroundings in blocks of bright colour and monochromatic line. Her motifs and mark-making are like drawings that tell stories of memories, and Reilly takes inspiration from the home, garden, footpaths and roads. Although responding to her immediate surroundings, Reilly’s pieces are in fact an abstraction of her world. Working predominantly in copper, paint and sterling silver, Reilly’s pieces possess a playful presence.
