JAN MAUREEN ART
About the Artist
Jan Maureen
|
Jan Maureen is a mixed media collage artist that captures the fun and joy in life. She enjoys using mixed media such as vintage papers, findings and acrylic paint. Jan loves to use things in nature to give her animal art the feeling of the environment they live in. Jan’s collage Portraits capture the personality and individual expressions of her subject matter in a playful fun way rather than trying to achieve “photo-realism.” She finds out what they love in life and incorporates that into the collage portion of the fine art piece. Jan is also an abstract artist. She loves the freedom in her abstract paintings that always give a feeling of movement and life. Most of her abstracts have no subject matter, it wonderfully allows her to focus solely on color, shape, and value. Jan feels the need to engage in her abstract paintings because they help her to stay loose and free.
She has been painting since 2010 and has been working diligently to improve her technique and craft. Her long term goals include being in local and regional galleries as well as having an art center. Her dream for the the art center is to have a place where people can come in, do their art, buy art, take classes, and enjoy fellowship. |
