A painter since 2015 after her photographic work was displayed and sold internationally. Self-taught and then attending many workshops after returning to Australia in 2016 Jan found a passion for art in colour and energy created with mixed media including oil & cold wax, acrylic or using collage found objects. Her hand-made stencils, and scratches and scrapes add interest to her work. Jan’s paintings have brightness, colour, light to show movement, emotion and feelings.

Recent successful exhibitions encourage Jan’s continued development with unusual techniques, working with abstraction, impressionist and geometric forms. Jan’s workshops during 2022 were well received.
