Jan was raised on a horse ranch in the low desert, where much of the scenery of her childhood inspired her early work as an artist. After winning an art scholarship and receiving a fine art degree, she found opportunities to create art for Hollywood, Six Flags, and NASA. Throughout that time, she also cared for the wildlife that inspires her art, in constant pursuit of the special magic that each of her subjects possess. When not painting and traveling to art events, Jan resides in beautiful northern Idaho with her husband and four children.
