ABOUT JAN:
Journeys through landscapes is what inspires me to create an artwork.
In my prints I try to depict these scenes in a stylised manner, hopefully evoking a sense of place, without being literal copies of them. I love to use mark making and depict the landscape in layers, from close up to the far distance, manipulating the view in such a way as to include as much detail as possible.
I enjoy printmaking, painting and artist book making using mixed media whenever I can.
