Heroes do not mistake apparent changlessness in time for the permanence of being. Nor is he fearful of the next moment, as destroying the permanence with it's change.-Joey C.
Jayne A. Harnett-Hargrove is a working artist, cross trained in the traditional arts whose output encompasses word-wrangling, illustration, bricolage, a quarterly zine entitled Meraki Issue, costume design for opera, immersive, and other theatrics. Jayne moves deftly through these traditional arts, creating narrative shards exploring memory, history, and myth. Her overriding drive to create is to experience the human condition with mindful compassion, frustration, and fear that we collectively experience. She has written, painted & designed on four continents, while lending her hands for mentoring, exhibiting art along the way, while emulating her heroes, Bouboulina, Hundertwasser, and Joan DeArc. She has lived in the shadows of the Rockies, in Joshua Tree desert, in iconic Florence, and on the Libyan shore of Crete — and continues this tradition for work and other pleasures as an important part of her inspiration and musing. She currently lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville NC, but her heart always seems to be miles away. Learn more: harnetthargrove.com
