Jane Biernacka Moore is a fine artist living and working in Belfast. Working mainly in oil, charcoal and coloured pencil Jane produce’s representational portraits and paintings that aim to voice the truth of the subject, not just capturing a physical likeness. The fluidity of oil paint enables her to capture fleeting gestures and movements. She knows she has got to the truth of a subject when not only the likeness but personality has been captured: they simply speak or sing to her from the canvas. From there it is simply filling in the gaps of the painting.

After completing a foundation year at the University of Ulster, Jane moved to London to embark upon a degree in Fashion Promotion and Illustration at the University for the Creative Arts. She graduated in 2006 with a first-class honours degree and worked as a freelance illustrator and storyboard artist for clients such as RSA Films, i-D Magazine, the BFI, Screencult, the National Portrait Gallery, the Barbican and the Royal Academy of Arts. 

Jane returned to her native Belfast in 2020 with her young family and now works solely as a fine artist, specialising mainly in portraiture. 

In January 2015 Jane held her first solo exhibition, showcasing a collection of 365 daily drawings from her Sketch A Day Project 2014. The exhibition received great critical acclaim and was featured in publications such as Artists & Illustrators, Leisure Painter, Creative Review, The Belfast Telegraph and DIVA magazine. Jane has also been shortlisted for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition and will be exhibiting at the Society of Graphic Fine Art’s 104th Annual Open exhibition in March 2025.
