About the Artist
Sadly we lost Jan in August of 2023, we are all heartbroken about her passing. We still have some of her artwork for sale, you can call if you have any questions about any of her pieces, we will be adding more to her digital gallery of works soon. This was her bio:
I have loved creating art all my life and was lucky enough to be accepted into RIT’s Fine Arts Program out of High School. But life takes many paths and I didn’t stay long. I always created in one form or another but didn’t paint seriously until after a year long treatment for cancer made me realize I didn’t have forever! In 2007 I began taking classes and workshops and meeting many wonderful artists in the Rochester area. I joined clubs, entered shows, went to demos, went to openings, and pretty much immersed myself in art. I am currently a member of 5 groups and have won many awards, including 2 Best of Show awards, in their shows. I work in pastel, pen and ink, and watercolor but my heart belongs to oil. Most of my work is figurative and landscape but I also do commission pet portraits.
