Sparkling sunlight and the resulting shadow patterns are a recurring theme in much of her work. Jan studied design at the University of California at Davis (plus a summer of studying art history in Guadalajara, Mexico) before transferring to receive her degree in sociology from Arizona State University. After graduation, she spent thirteen years, both full-and part-time, as a probation officer and youth supervisor at the Juvenile Court Center in Phoenix. During that time, she pursued her artwork by studying privately for short segments of time with a number of instructors, including Mary DeLoyht- Arendt and William Schimmel, Jr. Painting has been her full-time career since 1987. In order to depict the vibrant color that she perceives in shadows, she experimented until she came up with a technique where she would stipple very thin layers of color over one another, blending visually rather than physically. She has received numerous awards for her work in juried exhibitions, many as a part of her membership in the Arizona Artists Guild, and has served as a juror and guest speaker for several arts organizations. In the past, her work has been represented by galleries in Laguna Beach, Sedona, Santa Fe, Wickenburg and Scottsdale, and has been seen in Decor, Phoenix Home and Gardens and Arizona Foothills Magazines.
