About Jan
I live in a small West Michigan town with Bob, my husband of 41 years, our two dogs—Hobbes the standard poodle and Quinn the German shepherd—and my horse Macy.
I’ve drawn for my whole life, and art has helped me through some difficult times. But finding watercolors as a medium about ten years ago launched me on a journey of discovery. It’s a medium not easily controlled, and I embrace its freedoms and happy accidents.
My goal for each painting is to express emotion, especially through the eyes of my subject/model. I want to share the feeling of a moment, like a frozen glimpse in time. How rewarding it is when the viewer senses the emotion too!
