Jane McKeating uses drawing to search for and play with narratives. She sets objects and characters in both observed and imaginary spaces. Jane is continually absorbed in the relationship between figures and the spaces they inhabit. She combines multiple processes including drawing, printing, collage and stitch and regularly exhibits her drawings, prints and textiles. Jane now works fulltime as an artist following a 30-year career at Manchester School of Art where she was Associate Head of Design. A graduate of Goldsmiths College and Manchester School of Art, she is a member of the 62 Group and the Textiles Study Group and works at Suite studios in Salford.
