Jane Reväe McWhirter (she/her) is a visual artist from Saskatoon, SK, Treaty 6 Territory. Jane received her BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University in Montreal, majoring in painting and ceramics but exploring everything from embroidery to sound-based installation.

Jane uses art as an outlet, exploring various mediums while channelling emotion into her work. Her work explores themes of healing, vulnerability, connection, growth, mental health, feminine energy, and flora and fauna. Her soft, spooky style can be found in paintings, pottery, prints, stickers, stationery, and more.

As a child, I sold drawings of flowers door-to-door; creating spooky art helped me through tough teenage years and being creative played a pivotal role in disrupting the self-destructive path I was on in my early 20s. 

For the past 15 years, my practice has been centred around active self-care and healing through art-making. When I am not doing well, I create artwork to soothe myself. This work is a refuge - a place for me to release energy and calm my mind. When I am doing better mentally, I create expressive, personal, and cathartic pieces. This work is significant and helps me understand myself. I’ve always felt they were separate processes, with one more valuable than the other, but I know they cannot exist separately. When I am unwell, art takes care of me; when I am thriving, art challenges me and helps me grow. I am so grateful for this balance.
