PLEASE DO NOT COPY IMAGES

I am delighted to introduce the paintings of Jane Hickey Caminos, known as the "Narrative Painter of Women," in today's new Artist Watch column in the international online arts magazine Escape Into Life.

A long-time painter who has been exhibiting work since the 1990s, Jane has dedicated herself to and built her artistic reputation by telling women's stories through art, in particular, stories of gender violence across all cultures. An activist, Jane believes that artists have a responsibility to use their art to create positive change in the world. To that end, she continues to promote awareness of gender violence, both physical and emotional, through her ongoing series "On Women Bound." 

Today's Artist Watch feature includes 10 images from "On Women Bound," Jane's Artist Statement, and Jane's biography and social media sites. Jane has been especially generous in allowing me to present images of her work not only at EIL but also in this introduction.
