Salon Jane was founded by Jane Olin in 2014. The collective consists of six Monterey Bay based photographic artists: Robin V. Robinson, Jane Olin, Robin Ward, Martha Casanave, Susan Hyde Greene, and Anna Rheim. Each artist creates work outside of the deep-rooted West Coast tradition of straight photography.

Coming together in 2014, the six members of Salon Jane shared feedback and inspiration that created a safe atmosphere for risk taking and creative evolution. Salon Jane quickly evolved into a group of exhibition artists. Their first exhibition was at Green Chalk Gallery in Monterey in 2014 and followed by three unique exhibitions in 2017. In 2018, Salon Jane became a vital part of the Monterey Museum of Art’s Year of the Women with their exhibition The Ethereal Zone.

“Salon Jane’s work is a beautiful demonstration of California’s vibrant spirit. These women have created a dynamic grouping of diverse imagery and a strong intellectual and critical support system. It propels art into the future and sparks creativity in all of us.” - Stuart Chase, former Executive Director of Monterey Museum of Art
