JAN SWAN
My on-going project is photographing cats "from the street." I recently published a book of 80 of these photographs and am well under way for volume two. I also paint in oils. I have also been asked to curate several exhibits in the past few years, something I really enjoy. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries. Please sign my guestbook and feel free to contact me with any questions.
