Contemporary artist painting semi abstract landscapes.Jan grew up in a remote part of North Yorkshire; an untamed, almost feral childhood spent roaming the countryside. Her connection with nature grew alongside a fearless disregard for convention and a determination to follow her instincts. This adventurous spirit is reflected in her work conveying some of the raw, wild energy of the landscapes she loves. Jan is inspired by colours, light, and reflections, by the juxtaposition of different elements, bleak, windswept moors, lush hillsides, brooding peaks. By letting go and working intuitively and quickly she allows an unconscious organic process to take over which enables her to get into the flow. This helps her to capture a sense of the immediacy of the moment and the essence of place.Her artwork is available to buy on https://janmorleyart.co.uk/
