"Art is my happiness and my footing - it grounds me and allows me to see the world differently. It is my compass that travels with me through life daring me to take chances, to risk failure...and to feed my soul. "
Hi, I'm Jan Weiss
I am a native California artist working in a variety of mediums from acrylic on wood panel and canvas to digital renderings and typography.
"My earliest memory of knowing I wanted to make art was after I received a set of high quality felt tip markers as a Christmas gift. The back of the package had a painting by Monet - who I was not familiar with at the time - and after seeing the image I thought that someone rendered that painting with markers. Which led me to believe if someone else did that then I could too. What ambition for an eight year old!"
My work ranges from abstract landscapes, to modern design, typography and a clear activist influence to some of my work appealing to feminists and outspoken progressives everywhere.
I believe in the democracy of art; that art belongs to everyone and create works that fall into a variety of prices making it available to a range of budgets and buyers.
“My art is an adventure. I am constantly trying out new styles and techniques but when I look at my collection I see a similar palette or unique signature that defines my individual nature. I continue to grow and learn and discover through my art".
I received my BA in Fine Arts from Cal State East Bay and show in galleries in the Bay Area. I am represented by several fine art publishers and online third party sites such as Saatchi, Great Big Canvas, Red Bubble, Zazzle and Artfully Walls. I live with my husband and Bruce, the Rescue Puggle, in Martinez - a suburb of San Francisco.
