Biography:

Jane Sklar has many years of darkroom experience and has evolved into a seasoned digital photographer using an additional technique pioneered by her teacher and mentor (fellow Stuyvesant High School classmate), Max Cartagena. Making the process a journey all of her own, it is one using simple PC programs without the use of Photoshop. The layering and collaging process can sometimes take a year for an art piece to complete. Only one piece per size/medium is made in a printing format on canvas, archival paper or the most popular format, embedding in 17 gauge sheer aluminum. The latter technique is presented on a float mount 1/2″ from a wall, and no framing is needed. Sklar considers herself a digital painter and follows journeys and directions that are often unexpected. “To paraphrase Miles Davis: I am playing what isn’t there.”
