Saturday, March 31, 2018

I have been away from my blog site for such a long time 3 years. So much has happened in those 3 years. Exhibitions, new inspirational books tht I hav read and much more. So here I show you the first in a series of 10 paintings on the ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE paintings inspiried by the peruvian mountains. I have made 3 trips to peru and have been studing with Don Theo Parades ( shaman studies) for 18 years. These paintings are not only inspired by those mountains but also my studies in chinese art history and the Tao, hence the title One with the Universe. These paintings were exhibited in Dexter Michigan USA along with a wonderful clay sculptor Francesc Borgos. The exhibition was titled Movement in Stillness . I will write more later

She has shown her work both nationally and internationally, in such places as New York City, Korea, Vicenza ,Italy, Budapest ,& Paris. Detroit, Mich, & Chicago, IL..

Jan received both her BFA and MA from Michigan State University. In addition she has lived and studied in Northern Italy for three years.

She has continued to study and travel in order to delve deeper into other cultures. Of particular interest to her has been an almost twenty year study and travel to ancient sacred sites around the world, in such places as Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Cornwall England, the Island of Malta, Cambodia, Burma, Bali, Prehistoric sites in Brittany France, and Ireland. Visiting and studying these sites have both inspired and informed her artwork of mix media. Her interests in these ancient sites awakened her to the mystery and beauty of the symbols that are carved and painted at these sites and how in some ways they are embedded in our culture.

Her hope is to uncover some part of their meaning and to express it visually, helping to create a new visual mythology for our fast changing culture.
