Jan loves and respects Australia’s diverse culture and landscape. She is particularly inspired by our First Nations people and has painted with Senior Indigenous Artist’s at Utopia, in the Northern Territory. “To capture this and to share with others, is a gift I treasure.” A selection of these works hung in major exhibitions locally and overseas, and were awarded finalists in the Archibald Prize, Portia Geach and the Moran Art Prize.
