Jan is also a naturopathic nutritionist finding her art practice the perfect foil to her busy health practice. Her painting style varies from abstract to representational and she uses acrylics, oils, gouache, and acrylic pens. Jan finds inspiration from the coast near her home and from her travels within the countryside in Australia and overseas.

Artist Statement

All the aspects of nature bring about a feeling of pure joy and wonder for me - from the colour and form of exquisite flowers to the power in storm clouds, or the rugged texture of cliffs and gorges. I love the beauty in nature in all its forms. My passion is to record this in some way to inspire others.
