About The Artist

Jan, paints and draws, conveying a story to the viewer. Exploring the concept of and personality of animals, landscapes/cityscapes, investigating the dynamics of the subject, including the manipulation of its effects. At times, rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination! Her aim within art is to tell a story and encourage creativity. The subjects are ones she knows well, and the creatures are ones she has spent time with. Jan is passionate about capturing an animal, you must know its personality or, in the case of a landscape - it’s mood and dynamics, to create its vitality, emotion, passion, and record that moment.
Her preference is to work in Scratchboard with ink or watercolor and Claybord with watercolor.
