Jane Gosney initially trained to become an architect at The Bartlett University College London. Her first job in design was at the BBC. Later at Denys Lasdun Peter Softley and Associates she became fascinated with glass structures. She was one of the first architecture graduates to take the MSc in Light and Lighting at The Bartlett. Her interests bridge both three dimensional design and fine art.
After a time with multi disciplinary architects YRM plc Jane set up the UK Lighting Division of WSP consulting engineers, where she ran an innovative "studio". There her first iconic project was The Serpentine Gallery refurbishment. She has also organised many Art and Design Events for clients and her professional societies across the UK.
With an impressive portfolio from twenty years as a frontline designer in London, she joined her artist mother to share time near the Peak District and in Cornwall to work on her own varied projects as described on this website. As an artist and photographer Jane has recorded fellow Yorkshire woman and sculptor Barbara Hepworth's legacy from Wakefield to St Ives.
She has worked on many Public Art commissions and writes about a wide range of design matters. A Diploma in Event Management has allowed Jane to diversify from a designer maker to a hands on organiser at heritage, arts and literary festivals. Her knowledge also makes her a popular lecturer and guide.
