Name/Title
Jayne Ross Matsuda - Winter Elk - The CarlisleDescription
Sure that she was destined for a more-than-average life, Jayne Ross-Matsuda fled her childhood base in New Jersey for New York City as soon as she could.
Her father was willing to pay only for post-high school courses that would provide “practical skills”. At a local business college she became acquainted with the PBX switchboard system, and soon after found a job in New York City, utilizing that skill. Working for a Manhattan-based tin broker infused Jayne with a fascination for business which ultimately landed her in upper management at CBS. Following retirement, Jayne took acting classes which opened another career. She has performed off Broadway, in regional theatre, has had a number of commercials in her acting portfolio and has worked in radio drama, television and film, appearing in several episodes of Law & Order. By her own admission, Jayne has had a long-time but erratic interest in the visual arts. It has only been at The Carlisle, in the Art With Elders class, that she has found teachers who can instill the discipline required to learn the skills that result in a deeply satisfying art practice.
