Description
Jan Crawford is a professional artist who recently designed and built a studio at her Orchard in Penticton. Jan studied art in Vancouver receiving a B.ed , art major, from the University of British Columbia and a BFA, printmaking major from Emily Carr University. Today Jan teaches for the Federation of Canadian artists and is an AFCA Associate member. Her work has been exhibited in several juried exhibitions.
Jan produced 140 large colourful monotypes while at Malaspina Printmakers on Granville Island in Vancouver. Some of the prints are on permanent display at the Vancouver international airport. Jan’s work has been published in a book titled Nexus: Histories and Communities and a series of six large monotypes entitled The Packing House Series speaks to the disappearance of Okanagan identity. By incorporating brightly coloured vintage fruit labels with archival photographs from museums, these prints have become records of a faded cultural identity and a significant contribution to the heritage of the Okanagan region of British Columbia.
Jan’s work can be seen at the Hambleton Galleries, Kelowna; The Federation Gallery of Canadian Artists, Vancouver; North Van Arts, Vancouver International Airport. Jan has donated her work to various art organizations, Arts Umbrella shooting stars foundation Kelowna Art Gallery, Penticton Art Gallery and the BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver and Victoria.
