Portrait of Jane Runyeon

My artistic journey is deeply rooted in Reading, Pennsylvania, a city famously featured on the Monopoly board game. Born into a family with diverse interests spanning classical music, science, literature, theatre, the outdoors, and modern art, my upbringing laid the foundation for her multifaceted career in the arts including art advocacy and community leadership. In 1981, I received my Master of Fine Arts from the University of Cincinnati, spent a year writing and making collages at The Rhode Island School of Design under the guidance of Dale Chihuly, and completed my Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. In my late 20's I came home to teach drawing and painting at Albright College, appreciating the nourishment of my roots. I stayed in the Greater Reading Area and my entrepreneurial spirit emerged when All Together Art, Inc was established in 2001.

Gestural artwork, characterized by its dynamic brushstrokes and expressive forms, invites viewers into a dialogue with the artist's emotions. Each stroke is a testament to spontaneity, conveying movement and energy that transcends traditional representation .The energy of the different environments is palpable, how people group and ungroup together, creating energy between family and strangers while uniting in the shared moment.
