Artist’s Biography

Award-winning artist Jane Dees Lovett Holt, of Little Rock, began her study of painting with Jack Diner, highly-regarded medical illustrator/sculptor and board-certified ocularist, at The Arkansas Arts Center. After graduating from the University of Arkansas with a BA in Art, Jane studied portraiture with the internationally-renowned artist Michael Shane Neal. By invitation, she painted with Jeff Legg, Master Painter and Jurist for the Oil Painters of America, in France as part of the Plein Air Masters’ Program. She paints in oil from life, either en plein air or with a model. Jane is a Founding Member of the Portrait Society of America and an Associate Member of the Oil Painters of America. Among her works on permanent display is the official portrait of her husband, Jack Wilson Holt, Jr., which hangs in the Arkansas Supreme Court Building where he served as Chief Justice for 10 years.
