Jan is a multidisciplinary, environmentally focussed Sydney artist, whose wide-ranging practice includes drawing, painting, print- and photomedia, and animation.
She exhibits with the eco-arts collective, the Tree Veneration Society, a group devoted to honouring, protecting and promoting trees and the natural environment. As a keen bushwalker, much of her current work involves detailed studies of Australian plants, especially those found in sheltered nooks and crannies of the forest. Close observation and careful drawing are central to her practice. This allows time to discover the beauty and complexity of the subject, and find wonder in both the natural world and the everyday.
