Jane was born in 1953 in Elkhart, Indiana, but did quite a bit of moving in her early years when her family spent time in areas as diverse as Alaska, Puerto Rico, and England. She attended Hesston (Kansas) College and graduated with a B.A. in Art from Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana.

Immediately after graduating, she worked as a full-time potter for Sauder Museum in Archbold, Ohio. The five years at the museum instilled a love of the late 1800s and influenced her decision to reproduce pottery of that time period.

She is now self-employed, running a busy mail order business for her miniatures, and attending about 15 shows a year.

All the stoneware is wheelthrown and has gone through two separate firings. After the initial firing. Jane uses a calligraphy pen dipped in cobalt stain to produce the traditional slip trailed appearance. Once decorated, the pieces are dipped in a clear glaze and fired to 2350°F.
