JAN SWAN
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a
painter and photographer living in Aberdeen, Washington. Having explored painting abstract animals and
birds, I have recently turned to abstract expression of feelings, totems, and
beliefs in response to events in the world and the manifestations of my subconscious
mind.
EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLICATIONS
I am frequently represented by the Alder Grove Gallery in Aberdeen,
Washington.
