Jane's art career from over 35yrs
Posted by Jane Glue on
Today I work mainly from my studio and visiting all the locations that still inspire me.

Dr John Rae the Orkney explorer
Posted by Jane Glue on
I’ve always known about John Rae, there is a memorial in St Magnus Cathedral which shows the explorer lying down, his gun by his side, and I knew about Clestrain and that John Rae had lived there. But it was only after my mother, who after reading Ken McGoogan’s book on John Rae, Fatal Passage , had insisted on my sister and I taking her out to see the house of Clestrain that I became more interested in John Rae’s story............
