An experienced artist working in the disciplines of painting and photography, Jan has a BA (Hons) Fine Art Degree from the University College for the Creative Arts at Farnham.

She trained in Graphic Design at the Berkshire College of Art in Reading, worked in publishing and then as a tutor in drawing and painting. In 1997 she became a member of the Society of Women Artists.

Personal Statement                                                          

The paintings are in oils on canvas and nostalgia is a recurring theme. The aim, as with my photographs, is to invite contemplation and engage the viewer by identifying concerns about humanity, hope and our destiny and thus, by posing these questions that can never be answered, encourage dialogue with the work. 

My photographs draw upon the sub-consciousness and the psyche with the use of metaphor. I hope to evoke a sense of unease, the suggestion of a presence linked to the ideas of life and death, something disquieting, unexplained beyond human experience and sometimes that of nostalgia, the fading or disintegration of material things.
