Jane Rubin is a Creative Director, Multi-media Artist, and Writer.
Hoops became an interest in 1992. In 1998 Jane began to draw and paint live-action images of basketball games and players, sitting courtside at tournament games, team and individual practice sessions, and at playground pick-up games around New York City. Her interest in the game has been at all levels: pro, college and streetball. During the past several years Jane's focus has expanded to include other sports and venues. Throughout this time she has been unabashedly creating representations of male athletes. (She is, at the same time, an avid supporter of women in sports.) The work exhibited on janefirst.com is a small sampling from many pieces and represents the more accessible layers of this exploration. More can be viewed by contacting Jane.
Jane has exhibited paintings, drawings and multimedia installations in New York City and Los Angeles, including the 3rd Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Annuale, where she exhibited an x-rated architectural installation. She has also given readings and performances of her erotic fiction writing in both New York City and LA. Commercially, Jane has also worked for over a decade as a Creative Director, Art Director and Writer in advertising and publishing. She is an award-winning Creative Director and formed her own ad agency in 2001. From 1996-98 Jane taught "Media Communications," a conceptual, mixed-media seminar, at the School of Visual Arts. Ad Campaigns that Jane has both written and art directed have appeared in leading financial and trading industry magazines such as Stocks, Futures, and Options, Wall Street & Technology, and Active Trader. While creating cross-platform branding and advertising for futures industry companies, Jane also became a Futures and Options Broker, obtaining her Series 3 and 30 licenses. Jane attended Barnard College of Columbia University from 1982-84 and received her BA from Barnard College, graduating Cum Laude and with Department Honors in Program in the Arts. While still an undergrad at Barnard Jane was invited to join the Graduate Drawing Seminar in the Columbia University MFA program. In addition, Jane was the Set Designer for The Columbia University Experimental Theatre Company, The Columbia Players, and for Barnard Women's Center Theatre Productions. After graduating from Barnard Jane spent a year in New York City creating set designs for a number of multi-media theater pieces and also had a solo show of large-scale, cinematic "Bad Girl" drawings and painted-on photographs at TIn Pan Alley, a well-known music-poetry-art space in Manhattan. Jane received her MFA from California Institute of the Arts, where she was accepted into both the Graduate FIne Art and Graduate Design programs. At CalArts Jane was awarded Graduate Teaching Assistantships in Drawing, Painting and Color Theory. Jane was selected as an Artist by The Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program, and she completed the Whitney I.S.P. during 1989-90. During 1989, she also wrote art reviews for Art issues and Artcoast Magazines. Growing up Jane was involved in music, dance and art. In her teens her primary focus became visual art. She received her first formal education in drawing and painting, including figure drawing and painting, analytical drawing and color theory at The Carnegie-Mellon Institute Pre-College Summer Program in Art. Jane first showed her work in New York City in 1983, at The James Chapel of Columbia University Theological Seminary. Jane was born in York, PA in 1962. She attended the inner city public schools in York from K - 9th Grade. She and her siblings were the only Jewish students in the entire city school system.
