Jane Treays is an award winning documentary filmmaker, whose work over 30 years includes Inside Claridge’s, Extraordinary Families, and The Queen’s Green Planet. Jane always took her sketchbook and paints on location, sometimes creating painteddiaries of her travels.

In Lockdown, with nowhere to go, she picked up her watercolours full-time, capturing interiors and her garden before one day deciding to cut her up her work to create collages.

The vases in these collages can all be found in Jane’s home in Dorset, and she has grown many of the tulips and dahlias in her garden with the wildflowers handpicked in Cornwall.

Each piece involves sketching with pencil, penning with ink and then watercolourbefore being cut up and arranged against a background of wallpaper or handpainted paper. It’s an entirely home grown process of creation.
