Jan Wheeler

The first thing viewers notice about Jan Wheeler’s work is her somewhat cubist, curving, forms, followed by her strikingly rich colors.  She does not consider them her trademark, but does believe they represent the lyrical quality of the rhythm found in landscapes.  In her presentation, Ms. Wheeler portrays a sense of the harmony and depth produced by light and shadow movement.  It’s easy to see how this technique exemplifies the living, rippling nature of panorama, which is constantly changing and responding to winds or time.

Jan Wheeler utilizes European training and international travels to share the love of a Canadian wilderness homeland which is in her blood.  Her aim is to allow others to hear nature’s breaths as she does, in all of its seasons and temperaments. Ms. Wheeler’s works are currently shown in Ontario and in her private studio, but she has also exhibited in Toronto, Saudi Arabia, and Tennessee, and has received a New York Award for Excellence.
