Jan is an active exhibiting member of the Watercolor Society
of Oregon, and
is currently teaching classes during the day and in the evening in the
Canby-Aurora area. She paints a wide variety of subject matter. Aside
from her work in illustration, she works with portraits, historic houses,
landscapes, flowers, often combining calligraphy and imagery in her
paintings. These she sells as cards and prints. Her paintings are
sometimes on exhibit at Cornerstone
Gallery in Aurora and Wallflowers Gallery in Canby and other local
galleries and art shows.
“Currently I am developing a body of paintings
combining calligraphic and visual imagery. Through the “marriage” of
words and images, an artistic statement can be made that penetrates both
the heart and the mind. My interest is in exploring imagery that enters
more fully into our deeper natures, providing not only food for thought,
but an emotional connection as well. Ultimately I would hope that my own
personal exploration in this area would connect with others who might have
their own questions related to why we are here, and what might be our
common ground as human beings on this planet.”
