Shades of the WeST
JAN FISCHER "I would call my work "Impressionist Landscapes". I currently reside in Northern Colorado, I have spent my entire life in the western outdoors. Much of my work comes from references I collect while painting Plein Air and wandering through Colorado, Wyoming, southern Utah, and Arizona. I am my happiest outside and painting.
I have a degree in Fine Art and Advertising Design. I spent the majority of my life as an art director, graphic designer, illustrator, and children’s art teacher. I ran my graphic design company, Red Willow Design, specializing in helping start-up companies translate their new products and services into a visual presence in their markets. Creating a full spectrum of commercial art and design needs.
At this point in my life, it has been nice to transition away from a screen and onto a canvas. So many skies, such interesting shadows, light changing by the minute….capturing a little of those moments, that is my challenge."
