If painting is a search for truth or a greater understanding of our self, I am convinced now more than ever that the truth is Lani Irwin’s paintings.

Wonderfully lucid, intuitive, thought provoking interview! Paintings are inspired and inspiring. I so relate to Jane’s intuitive and deeply within her spirit process. Thank you!

This was a very thoughtful and insightful interview. It was so clear and well considered and fosters a desire to see the paintings in a show somewhere near and soon.

It is a rare and beautiful thing to learn about an artist whose paintings speak to me as much as her words about them. Thank you for your considerate, yet probing questions that allowed Lani Irwin to allow us to both feel and understand her thought process, the emerging quality of her work and the soul of the artist that exists within. She need not be concerned that there might be a kind of beauty in her work, because they are beautiful, soulful, unsettling and thought provoking.

Thank you for this wonderfully written piece on Lani Irwin — I have seen a few articles about her work in the past, but this article is like the difference between a text message and a hand written letter in the artist’s own words.

Irwin’s description of ‘painting the painting into being’ is brilliant. It seems to me a true way to paint, no matter the subject matter, and the difficult part is, as they say, to know when to stop and then to start again when it feels right. No school I’ve heard of teaches that principle for real.

Again, Thanks, to Irwin and to PP for a perceptive article. I will permanently bookmark this to remind myself to trust my own instincts and make the next move when I can do it without overthinking, second guessing and getting scared about losing a half-good painting…

Thank you for featuring Lani and her work. The interview is thoughtfully articulated, giving a better understanding of Lani’s work and her development as an artist living in Italy.

A fascinating and most thought-provoking interview. Lani’s articulateness should not be surprising considering her finely articulated paintings, but nevertheless is a great pleasure.
