Jane Michaelis trained at St Martin's School of Art, Charing Cross Road, London in general, intermediate and finally in craft and illustration, gaining a National Diploma in Design. During that time she had exhibited her wood engravings at The Royal Society of Painters, Etchers and Engravers, The Royal Academy and the Wood Engraving Society exhibitions.
Employment in three London advertising studios was followed by freelance work, illustrating educational and national books, yachting journals and individual commissions.
