Biography 
Jan is a self-taught artist who started drawing at the age of 3 yrs. old. She started selling her work in high school, drawing poster size portraits of rock stars. Pencil, charcoal, and pastel was her favorite medium until, at 20, she picked up a paint brush and started experimenting with oils. For the past 10 years she has been making a living as a muralist after earning an AA degree in design. Painting on walls is one of her favorite surfaces to work on, but she always wanted to be able to have the time to develop canvas work. She took her first workshop in (2005) with artist, Charles White which led to a plein-aire workshop in Tuscany the spring of 2006. She returned to Italy in the fall of 2007 for another pleine-aire trip with the artist. On her way back to the States, she stopped for a couple days in Paris where she painted along the Seine River overlooking the Louvre. The painting was purchased right off her easel that day.
Her love for the detail in both architecture and landscape urge her to continue to produce paintings of her travels.
