I'm in love with beauty, and every painting invites you into my world.
"Art enables us to find ourselves and
lose ourselves at the same time."
~ Thomas Merton
All of creation is both inspiration and a profound gift. I am enthralled
by all of its aspects — landscapes, seascapes, skies and clouds,
animal life, and the human form. I am amazed and undone by each one.
Beauty inhabits them through color, form, shape, line, and, above all
for me, drama. Whether through vivid oils or watercolors, loose realism
or sweeping washes, every painting I create is, in some way, a reflection
of the beauty, glory, and imagination of God revealed in nature.
What People Have to Say . . .
I have several Jan Thoreen Lewis paintings and I wish I had room on my walls for many more! Each piece I’ve collected has an emotional attachment to significant places I’ve lived in or visited. Many years later they still fill me with peace, a sense of well-being and joy.
Jan’s personality is embedded in each painting, and she was spot-on with my feelings and emotions about each one. I am so blessed to have jan in my life and parts of her in her paintings. Love!

I've been collecting Jan's art for many years and each piece holds a special meaning for me and reflects my personality. Her ability to capture beautiful and powerful moments and bring them to life has provided me with years of delight. Her portraits, florals, landscapes, and still lifes fill my walls with vibrant color and give joy to everyone who enters my home!
