20x200Artists Jane Mount

Jane Mount is an artist, product strategist, designer and entrepreneur. She has exhibited work in various U.S. cities, co-founded several companies, and has been a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show. She is obsessed with learning and knows a lot about drawing, the internet, social networks, anthropology, art history, wine, human anatomy, furniture, cooking and golf. When she was little she believed that people kept learning and changing until they knew absolutely everything, and then they would die and move on to something else because they were done here. She is currently still on that mission.
