Jan Munro PS - 2022
Over the last 20 years Jan has exhibited and sold work in local Society shows and Galleries and in the last five years has had work shown and sold at The Mall galleries in The Pastel Society, The Royal Institute of painters in Watercolour and The Society of Women Artists. Jan has won numerous awards including two Best in Show awards at the St Albans Art Society.
Jan has been running Watercolour and Pastel classes for adults for 15 years. She also does workshops and demonstrations for local Art Societies.
Her paintings are made with watercolour, acrylic, pastels and sometimes a mixture of media. She aims to represent a place or thing but also to convey to the viewer her inspiration and feelings about what she is painting. She wants to look beyond the reality.
Composition and design are key elements in her paintings so that there is feeling of balance. There will always be a sense of light and space. Jan works hard to master the media that she uses so that the painting seems to flow beyond technique and to be made with a playful curiosity and seemingly without struggle.
