About the Artist

Jan Elmore of Keswick, Virginia, creates mixed media, wall-mounted sculptures that are composed of native hardwood species and textured metals mounted on painted canvas and panels. The work may also incorporate exotic woods, hand-painted papers, leather, fibers, porcelain, or stucco. Reflecting the importance of sustainability and economy, many components are "scraps" retrieved from other makers. From the smallest sliver of metal to the largest slab of wood, all elements are meticulously cut, sanded, hammered, oiled, and painted by hand. The resulting designs highlight the materials as the stars of each creation, but also feature color, texture, and composition in supporting roles.
