I wake up happy...
I make art all the time in my studio (Assemblage, mixed media, and jewelry design- Found object jewelry and lets not forget- Drawing!). I sometimes take bathroom photos- it has been a long time series... I hope to turn it into something like a little book one day...
I like to drink coffee at all hours of the day-
I swoon and blush a lot!-
I have a passion for all things rusted, vintage and old-
I have been known to run with scissors-
I am very into my power tools- I love my drill press, metal chopper, and my table saw!
My favorite color is... brown.
I have my Master of Fine Art and I was a College Professor for 3 years at Towson University and the Community Colleges of Baltimore County. Now I teach workshops in jewelry design and assemblage shrine building, around the country!!!
I have been on a radio program, was on an episode of "That's Clever!" on HGTV, and have had my work featured in several books.
Just ANNOUNCED!

After MUCH encouragement-
I have decided to TAKE PER-ORDERS for Signed Copies of my BOOK!
Book Description
"Featuring techniques for assemblage and surface alterations never before seen in a mixed-media art book (kit-bashing, wiring, egg-shell texture, casting and more), Altered Curiosities offers a new twist on a hot topic.
A fresh variety of projects (such as hair barrettes, jewelry, a drawer pull and a bird feeder) prove that artistic assemblage and collage styles can be expressed beyond wall art.
Readers will learn a new storytelling approach to their mixed-media art. Altered Curiosities goes beyond construction techniques to help readers discover how to create a personal narrative with objects and visually tell a story, not just infuse a piece with meaning or symbolism.
Two very important things make this book stand out from the crowd of other collage, mixed-media and assemblage titles: the projects (full of oddities and the unexpected) and the techniques--several of which have never been published before. A common element of Jane Wynn's style is to find an object, break it and put it together again (sometimes more than once), and she loves using anthropomorphic associations to tell stories in her projects. Step by step, readers will learn her unique method and her sought-after techniques. Along with surface alterations (faux-aging, patinas and the use of unusual household products) Altered Curiosities teaches metal etching with rubber stamps, simple wiring to create dramatic lighting, instruction for altering simple toy figures (making two-headed animals, for instance) and more."
