After a successful photographic career, selling internationally, Jan began painting in 2015. Mainly self-taught and attending workshops, Jan's paintings have brightness of colour and light to show movement, energy, emotion and feelings, created with mixed media, acrylic, oil & cold wax, collage and found objects.

Her hand-made stencils, and mark making with scratches and scrapes add interest to her work. Recent successful exhibitions 2021 and 2022 encouraged Jan to look forward and continue developing interesting techniques, inspired by different genres, abstraction, impressionist and geometric forms. Jan's workshops during 2021 were well received with very happy artist creating their abstract paintings.
