Jan travels the world over -sketching, painting in the field, and photographing -the natural world she has such a love affair with. As excited by a tiny chestnut colored wren hopping among leaf litter on the forest floor to a rampaging black rhino in the African savannah, Jan strives to accurately portray nature while still eliciting a positive emotional response from the viewer .
Jan works in acrylic paint on smooth masonite panel to help create the fine details, textures and lighting that are hallmarks of her work. Manipulating the paint on the board with brushes, sponges, saranwrap and her fingers, Jan creates lifelike renditions of fur, feathers, mosses, rocks etc. The surrounding habitat is always scientifically correct, yet an artistic backdrop to the main subject of the wildlife species she is depicting.
Jan's work has hung in the Smithsonian Museum, Gilcrease Museum, Natural History Museum of London and she has a one person exhibit scheduled for spring 2002 at the Dallas Museum of Natural History. She is in the collection of FORBES magazine and the WORLD CENTER FOR BIRDS OF PREY among others.
Her work has appeared in numerous magazines and books including NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION, U.S. Art, WILDLIFE ART NEWS and AMERICAN ARTIST MAGAZINE. Books include: BEST OF WILDLIFE ART I and II, NORTH AMERICAN ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES, and she has two books coming out that she has written including a children's book.
Jan currently lives in the Osage Hills of Oklahoma with her fiancé and business manager -James Gary Hines II, and her teenage daughter Teal, along with a menagerie of animals including parrots, a raccoon, wolf, boa constrictor, African tortoise, and assorted dogs and cats.
Jan is a member of the prestigous SOCIETY OF ANIMAL ARTISTS.
