My name is Jayne Harte and I have created this website to record my creative journey. I’ve called my website ‘My Creative Escape’ because I really do find art and photography help to balance my life.

I have been painting all my life, usually watercolour but now I use pastels, printing, gelli printing and pen and ink. I belong to three art groups and they are a big part of my social life.

It’s the same with my photography, I had my first camera, a Box Brownie, at the age of 8 and took lots of photographs, which my father developed. I now have a lovely Canon RP and more lenses than I care to remember.
