Watercolor Demonstration by Jane Booras

About Jane Booras : I am a self taught, award winning artist who has loved art my entire life. I have done many things in the creative field. Children’s portraits are my passion. Capturing the emotion in a child’s face and telling their story through my paintings is my purpose. These children tug at my heart. I have often been asked why I have chosen this subject to paint. After traveling the continent of Africa, I became very aware of the plight of so many children on this earth.

Jane created a gallery of 102 paintings of “Children of the World” whereby she donated 50% of her sales to several children’s charities.
