Jan paints her bright whimsical designs on mostly canvas & skin. She has been known to paint on any thing else she can get her hands on. Other pieces that hang in her studio are on wood, guitars and cow skulls. Her style is colorful pop art with a swirly flare. Her work is very distinct and all her work has a graphic design vibe as all her images are outlined in black. This is her signature touch. The studio is filled with painting of chapels, twisted trees, cats, dogs, her crazy fish characters and more. “My specialty is pet portraits, I am constantly working on commission pieces”. People order gifts for others, themselves, memorial pieces. She works closely with rescue facilities.
Jan started selling professionally in 2003 with a series of shows in Boston, then here in AZ. Jan sells in local wine tasting rooms AZ Stronghold & Page Springs Vineyard gift shop, The Bordello of Jerome, Hilltop Deli, Wicked City Brew and other locations Jan will continue to do shows on location including local venues and traveling to Boston, San Diego & New Orleans. She will also be hosting paint along parties in her studio as well as at Page Spring Vineyard starting at the end of March.

After residing in Jerome for over a year, I have just moved my business up to Jerome as of this month. I am very grateful to be part of a supportive art community. All kinds of excitement is being planned for the studio patio for this years Jerome Art Walk.” Stop by the studio and check out all the fun artwork, paintings, tattoos & custom pet portraits! www.RetroArtByJan.com

Suzen Brackell will open her new show at The Jerome Artist’s Cooperative on March 4th. “The Joy of Sewing” features beautiful textile designs by this talented artist. Like many who first became acquainted with a needle and thread in early school years, Suzen was introduced to her first sewing machine in her hometown of Windsor, Ontario in the 7th grade; she put her foot to the peddle, set the flywheel spinning and never looked back! Suzen specializes in custom work that is individually personalized “Just for You” and will guarantee a perfect fit. She is celebrating opening night of her “50 Joyful Years” with a Special $50 sale on many of her normally higher priced items, and will be available to answer questions and take names for custom orders. Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery is open daily 10-6. The show runs through thru May 3.
Spring is here and Pura Vida Gallery will be celebrating the season with new garden art. New rock and steel garden sculptures from Sea Stones Studio will grace the garden, as well as many elegant herons and duck stone sculptures. Join Pura Vida Gallery on the evening of the Jerome Art Walk for champagne and chocolates and a toast to Spring!
As we put winter to behind us, and that special Arizona light comes out to play this Spring, colors are starting to look better and better at Yester Day’s Fine Art Gallery, where multi-colored sales tags might catch one’s eye, too! A rainbow of colors found in the gallery’s oils, watercolors and colored pencil images have been hand-picked for discounts by “Yester Day.” A remnant spirit of mining days, Yester Day, who worked in the darkness of the mines all those years, now thinks colors—especially those found in fine art–should really be shared, enjoyed, and embraced (along with the refreshments!). Join us, then, as we anticipate the Vernal Equinox at our brightening gallery, located at 509 Main Street in the lower Jerome art district.
