Jan Gardner
Jan Gardner
Jan was born and brought up in North Wales and spent much of her early years wandering the lanes and hills around her home. It was here that the light, space and colours that inhabit her work first became an influence. Drawing on these memories and experiences of special places and her later travels in Europe, Morocco and the U.S.A.; she crafts vivid and atmospheric works. Colours that fly in from emotion and passion, relaying a deep connection with the varied, differing landscapes from which they evolve.
In 2007 Jan was awarded an Arts Council of Wales research grant which enabled her to explore the source of her palette and the ancient and contemporary manufacture of pure pigment in Milan, Geneva and New York.
Jan was elected as a member of The Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy in 2015, and invited to become a member of the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales in 2020. Jan`s work is held in private, public and corporate collections in the UK, mainland Europe and across the world.
