Jane Hankins
Witty, whimsical, wonderful. These words and more describe the creative world of Little Rock,
Arkansas artist Jane F. Hankins. Born in Jonesboro, Jane has enjoyed a strong presence in the
community of Arkansas artists for over two decades. A visual artist, specializing in sculpture in
7
porcelain and stoneware as well as drawing and painting, she is a designer for nationally-marketed
sculpture reproductions. An Arkansas native, Jane studied at the Memphis Art Academy, Arkansas
State University, and the Arkansas Arts Center. She is a serious artist, who doesn't take herself too
seriously.
She has had numerous exhibitions and annual shows and was one of 10 artists chosen to exhibit in the
National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. She has shown at the Arkansas Arts
Center in the Delta Show, Toys by Artists and Prints, Drawings and Crafts. She has also served on the
Fine Arts Club Board.
Her work shows us that art does not have to be serious to be important. Jane says, "I like art that is
approachable, and I believe that there is room for all kinds of art. A feminine theme is often present in
my work - when I use that term - feminine, I'm referring to the divine aspects of the word, not just
bein' pretty and actin' nice! Sometimes, I build entire stories around the characters I make and I get to
know them better! I'm having great fun with the Little Old Ladies and Gents, as well as the Mavens of
Madge's Mobile Home Park. Remember, I'm laughing near them, not at them."

Maybe April
Celebration Central
5:30pm – 7:00pm
Performing "Loving You Still" at The GRAMMY Foundation's "A Song Is Born"
Maybe April was born in the summer of 2012 when Katy Bishop, Kristen Castro, and Alaina Stacey
travelled across the country to Nashville, Tennessee for a weeklong music industry camp. Sharing a deep
love of country-folk music, a genuine admiration for one another’s unique sound, and a constant
willingness to laugh at themselves, the three strangers from Jonesboro, Arkansas, Simi Valley, California,
and Chicago, Illinois, quickly became friends. Katy Bishop put it best. “It was a puzzle piece, and we
were all surprised at the friendship we made and how well we all fit together. It’s hard to find people that
have the qualities you need to complement each other.” In just a few short hours, the three singersongwriters wrote a country song that shocked music industry professionals. “Loving You Still” sounded
as though it was written by artists who had been working together for years. Little did they know,
"Loving You Still" would grow to be a very important song for them. In January 2014, Maybe April was
invited to play it at the GRAMMY event "A Song is Born" at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles,
CA alongside incredible artists and songwriters like Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson, Allen Shamblin,
Gavin DeGraw, J.D. Souther, Joy Williams from the Civil Wars, and many others.
