Please welcome the newest addition to Art Central’s Gallery, Jan Swarbrick!

Jan Swarbrick is originally from rural Indiana and has been engaged in artwork since she was a child! Most of her friends and classmates lived on farms, and this connection to the land and animals provided her many opportunities for drawing landscapes and animals, especially horses. Jan was formally trained in the arts in California at San Jose State University, DeAnza College in Cupertino and the Pacific Art league in Palo Alto.

Jan’s love for her work comes from the satisfaction of overcoming the enormous challenges of painting, from the first line and color selection to the final brushwork. Her goal is to involve you, the viewer, in a pleasurable journey across the painted surface of her paintings.
She hopes you all can also learn to love the textures, colors and brushstrokes of paint!
