Originally from Pennsylvania, Jane Chapin grew up sketching and painting the people and landscapes that surrounded her. A year as an exchange student in Argentina broadened her surroundings and began a lifelong love of travel. After receiving her Bachelors in Art from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, Chapin was an art teaching volunteer in the Peace Corps in El Salvador, further reinforcing her connection with the richness & diversity of her visual surroundings.
