Jane Mosse Jane Mosse's life as a designer is beautifully complemented by her love of gardening. Both of these passions mingle in her light and airy studio, built between an orchard and a flower garden in a tiny village in southern England. From its windows are lovely views of the changing seasons and their earthly yield. Just down the road is her own farmhouse and garden. These surroundings serve as a continuous source of inspiration. Jane's artwork reflects a gentle love of the land. Rose buds, herbacious borders, pergolas, arches and a soon-to-be-planted formal herb garden find themselves repeated in Jane's patterns and paintings. Trained as a textile designer, Jane began working for a bed linen company in northern England in 1983. Two years later, she moved back to the south to set up the studio she had always wanted. Her first designs were sold to the home furnishings industry. As her customer base grew, so did the need to create more designs to sell in Europe and the United States. Now ten different designers are part of the Jane Mosse Studio. The garden studio buzzes with activity as they create a wealth of styles and techniques for a plethora of products. The studio brims with a wide variety of memorabilia collected on world travels. Walls and shelves are alive with color and texture. "Textiles from Thailand, carvings and woodblocks from India, ceramics and tiles from Europe, and always wonderful books - everywhere we travel, our suitcases are stuffed with decorative fabrics and items that inspire new designs," Jane acknowledges. The Jane Mosse studio is a treasure trove of artwork, as abundant, colorful and fertile as the gardens outside its door.
