Butterfly Visions:Original Paintings:Canyon Narrows Series

Jan’s Canyon Narrows lead the viewer into deep canyons and reflections in the water, offering a wonderment of what is around the next corner. Often hidden animals or spirits lurk in the shadows and textures of canyon walls.

“Sometimes an animal spirit will speak of its need to be in a particular scene and magically appear there, which adds another dimension to the landscape,” Jan says.

“Though I’ve always been fascinated with deep canyons while hiking or backpacking, especially those seen while living in Utah, it was a raft trip down the Grand Canyon that led me to creating an entire exhibit reflecting the intrigue of deep canyons.”

Such an exhibit was first displayed at Abiquiu Inn in northern New Mexico in May of 2003. The response led to printing cards of a canyon narrows series.
