Jan Stevens NAPA

My abstract art is inspired by a love and appreciation of nature, particularly golf courses and costal river landscapes.  Cornish raised, state educated, global business wise, international travel and South West London living celebrate my creativity through fusion of my experiences.  My curiosity, community spirit and wonder bring fun and clarity to the finished paintings.

I continue to be inspired by the work of other artists in the group.

My paintings are created as part of an exploratory journey that unfolds as I go along. I paint shapes to the edge of the canvas, widening the spatial awareness. Using canvas or watercolour paper, I can work on several pieces at once. I choose the colours as I go with favourites being blues and greens. The first application of paint can be poured wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry surface. I use brushes and sponge rollers, in a free flowing style to add movement, texture and patterns. Once dry, any solid shapes are layered to create depth and perspective.  

Thank you for being interested.
