Jan Parsons

Jan Parsons is an artist/teacher working from her studio in Wakefield. She paints colourful abstract landscapes in acrylic, describing her work as not merely a visual representation of a place, rather the sensual experience of being there.

Her work on show is from her recent series ‘There is Another Sky,’ a collection painted using acrylic and mixed media on canvas and panel.

Jan builds up an image using layers of opaque and translucent washes of paint which over time come to represent real and imagined views. This process of adding and subtracting layers means the final image is slowly revealed in unusual and unpredictable ways.
