Jane Leitch works from her studio in Gidleigh situated on the edge of Dartmoor. Inspired by her environment, she produces paintings that capture the very essence of nature, be it flora and fauna or the desire to portray daily life in the rural part of Devon as well as the West Country coast.

Alongside her own repertoire of paintings Jane also works to commission undertaking  animal and childrens portraits.
