A native of Richmond, Virginia, Jane Aman graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a MFA in painting and printmaking in 1969. She then spent 6 years in Los Angeles where she taught silk screen printing at the college level and worked in television production. She joined Cirrus Editions Ltd. as Los Angeles' first woman screen printer in a major edition-printing studio and printed for artists Ed Ruscha, Bruce Nauman, Ed Moses, June Wayne, Alan McCollum and Joe Goode, among others. While there she was awarded a National Endowment of the Arts grant for her own silk screens, and was included in the Brooklyn Museum's "30 Years of American Printmaking" exhibition.


She returned to Richmond in 1975 and joined the art faculties of John Tyler Community College and Richard Bland College while continuing her art career. She has been represented by galleries in Washington DC, NYC, LA, Florida, N.C. and Richmond. Her work has been shown, and won awards, in many national and international exhibits through the years. Selected works are in the permanent collections of the National Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Oakland Museum, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Honolulu Academy of Art, Minnesota Art Museum, Cuban Embassy, DC, American Embassy, Panama, the Federal Reserve Bank, Bank of Boston, Central Fidelity Bank, IBM, Phillip Morris, and the State Department.
