Jan Nelson
About Jan NelsonJanet (Jan) Nelson was born in Glasgow in 1956 and brought up on the east coast of Scotland. She is a self taught artist who studied for three years through the Open College of the Arts at Leith School of Art in Edinburgh and has been painting for over 25 years. Working on a part time basis initially whilst earning a living in the world of commerce, redundancy forced a decision to take up painting full time in 2008 and Jan is now happily painting from her studio on the West Coast of Scotland where work can be combined with her other great love of sailing. Jan’s interest in sailing is obvious from her painting, which truly captures the tremendous movement, thrills and glorious colours of sailing both in a scenic and racing sense. Although the majority of her work relates to the sea, she is also an accomplished landscape painter where a passion for nature comes to the fore. She concentrates on acrylics but paints well in watercolour and oils depending on the subject matter. Her versatility means she can switch easily from detailed sea and sailing pieces to abstracts and change medium to suit. Jan concentrates her work within a few select galleries around the UK and has a number of paintings in private collections in America, Canada, Luxembourg, Australia, and Ireland and has worked to commission both privately and for organisations.
