Jan is a formally trained watercolorist and was a children's book illustrator for 35 years before returning to her fine art training. Leaving Raggedy Ann and Thumbelina behind, her subjects now include portraits, landscapes and sporting subjects, including fly-fishing. Jan has won 15 awards from juried watercolor shows in CT and NY, including 4 awards from the National Exhibition of American Watercolors in Old Forge, NY. She is one of the few females out there currently contributing to the Sporting Art arena and we are thrilled she has joined us.

Reminiscent of many of Sporting Arts masters, Jan has the rare ability of convincingly capturing sportsmen in pursuit of their game and her watercolors convey a feeling and mood that allows the viewer to connect with the subject. Working from her studio in the Adirondacks, she is a member of the American Watercolor Society, Kent Art Association in CT and the Upper Hudson Valley Watercolor Society.
