HOGCHESTER ARTS

Jane Hayes Greenwood (b.1986) is a London-based artist working across painting, ceramics, sculptural installation, and CGI video. Grounded in personal experience, her work engages with themes of desire, fertility, motherhood and death through botanical research that entangles with feminist histories.

 

Her work includes an ongoing series of over 50 paintings titled The Witch’s Garden, that explores the properties and histories of medicinal plants and their ties to marginalised women.

 

Jane recently curated an ambitious 19 person group show, The Nature of Things at Castor Gallery, bringing together work by artists from the Turner Prize winning to the newly graduated. The works in the exhibition referenced personal experiences, touched on ecology, ancient and indigenous knowledge and explored our complex relationship with the vegetal world, telling stories of displacement, violence, extraction and consumption.

Jane co-founded Block 336 where she was Executive Director from 2011-2023.

Alongside her practice she is a visiting Fine Art lecturer at City & Guilds of London Art School, ESOP and a mentor at Turps Art School.
