Jane Cooper is a mixed media artist. Born in Dorset in the UK, now calling North West Tasmania home. 

After studying a wonderful art foundation followed by Textile Design BA (Hons) at Falmouth University in Cornwall, England. Following University she worked formally in content marketing for a number of years while building her brand and experience in jewellery design and printmaking. Her brand "Hex Cavelli" was launched in 2016 after taking lessons with the esteemed London jewellery designer, Frederick Grove. Exploratory collections of chunky biker style unisex jewellery were launched in the following years and her skills developed though a number of courses by master craftsmen at the Goldsmiths Centre, London.

The "Hex Cavelli" brand was peeled away after Jane took part in the BBC show "The Speedshop" and in true BBC style, she could only appear as herself. This created an opportunity to expand and explore her processes further, no longer locked into a brand image.

In 2024 Jane and her family moved to the North Coast of Tasmania, with a shift out of the corporate world and into a new creative space. Jane draws her inspiration from her upbringing, closeness to nature, myths, legend, stories, sensations and texture. Her work is in a transformation stage, starting with intensive journalling and sketchbook work and exploring new skills in engraving, spinning and illustration.

A couple of years of settling in, growing the family and finding the dream home. In 2026 the studio is evolving and work will begin again. With a current interest in wool, weaving and sustainable, regenerative farming the themes may shift a little, you can follow along at @coops.artist to see how it all comes together.
