JAN SWANSON
ARTIST
STATEMENT
My paintings are developed from things I see or remember from childhood. Many times what I start with doesn’t look remotely like what I end up with, but the layers that develop are appealing to me.
My paintings usually are of things that aren’t quite right (like me). Sometimes the spots fall off of a dress or the shutters fall off a house or the flowers fall out of a vase or a string of pearls falls apart. I don’t know why I do this, but I guess it comes from way back somewhere!
