Perhaps to understand where Jane Spangenberg is coming from, you have to see where she’s been:
Born in South Africa, her family moved to England when Jane was nine.  While living in Europe, Jane and her family traveled to Holland, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Scotland; moving back to South Africa when Jane was 11.

Several years after graduating from high school, Jane followed her parents and brother from South Africa to Paraguay, where her father had started a sawmill and furniture factory.  She lived in Paraguay for eight years before coming to the United States -- settling first in Massachusetts, then moving to Miami, and finally to Atlanta, her current home.

Perhaps her colorful background explains her attraction to marquetry, the art of combining different veneer pieces to form pictures or patterns. It’s the blending of the exotic with the ordinary, creating art, and having the chance to try something new time and time again.

Secret Garden
