Seed Bearers Series

Seed Bearer

This painting is one from a series of birds as soul flying into or out of the Great Void.

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.
