Australian Women Artists The podcast Ep 94 Jane Guthleben Jane Guthleben is a contemporary Australian painter who reinterprets Dutch Golden Age still life and vanitas traditions through a distinctly Australian lens, making it remarkably contemporary. Her vibrant compositions feature indigenous flora, native birds, and archival references, blending humour and kitsch with commentary on environmental fragility. As well as her floral arrangements, Jane is a portraitist who has also undertaken what she calls ornament-portraits one of which was recently a finalist in the Archibald prize. Starting her career as a journalist she went on to study a Bachelor of Fine Arts with honours at the University of New South Wales and the career change was well and truly rewarded. She has been a finalist in the Calleen Art Award, the Portia Geach Memorial Portrait Prize 7 times, the Archibald Prize, the Salon des Refuses, Mosman Art Prize twice the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award, Ravenswood Women's Art Prize twice and the Fisher's Ghost Art Prize among others.
