About the presenter:

Jane Oneail curates and delivers art appreciation programs to audiences throughout New England. Jane holds a Master’s degree in Art History from Boston University and a Master’s degree in Education from Harvard University. A New Hampshire native, she has worked at some of the state’s most esteemed cultural institutions, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, where she served as Executive Director, and the Currier Museum of Art, where she held the role of Senior Educator. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University.

Jane appreciates the special magic that happens when people look at art together and share their genuine reactions and questions. “Talking about art requires bravery – you’re inherently vulnerable when you share your perspective. There is joy in seeing things in a new way – and in simply shifting gears to appreciate the beauty and poetry of everyday life.”
