California Bound!

1/2/2018

0 Comments

 
In late November 2017, myself, my husband and our youngest daughter left Australia bound for California, for an amazing opportunity to live in the Sierra Nevada mountains, near Lake Tahoe, for 4 months.
My husband has a ski patrol position in the Squaw Valley Ski Patrol and we have had an incredible experience being in these mountains for the winter and exploring California and Oregon.
 As well as doing lots of skiing, cross country skiing and hiking, I have had the wonderful chance to rejuvenate my creative energy and be inspired by the area we are living in.
I have produced lots of new and exciting artworks that will be available as Original Artworks, Limited Edition Prints and greeting cards as soon as I return home to my Jan Juc studio mid march.

New artworks January 2018

These recent artworks are all inspired by quotes...some famous, some well known and some not so well known. They have all been created on my lap in my makeshift studio here in the house we are staying in, in Squaw Valley, California.
