Jan Jury

Being mostly self taught ,folk art was my starting point as was dabbling in pottery, ceramics and calligraphy.

Over the last 15 years my main subjects have been birds and animals, drawn or painted in acrylics, yet I get most excited about graphite portraits of animals or birds.

Over time my business has grown nationally and internationally.

Moving from the Central Coast, to Narrabri in 2021, I was involved with the Art and Craft Society having regular exhibitions in the gallery and gaining more local work.

We didn’t feel Narrabri was going to be our retirement town, so we sold up and moved to Armidale, July 2024. We are loving the arts, markets, cafes, restaurants, countryside and have started getting local commissions.

Commissions take me out of my comfort zone but when finished I feel enlightened and proud.
