Artists

Jan Pomeroy
Bio
As a child Jan was always creating with her hands, but the thing that reinforced in her to be an artist was her 9th grade art teacher Mr Rooney. He was a very inspiring man that inspired her to go on to be an artist as she neared adulthood. So art has been a constant thing for her since that time. She has explored many art mediums through the years: fiber, wood carving, clay sculpture, cloisonné enameling, oil painting, colored pencil drawing, and mixed media. The thing that has stuck has been the mixed media because of the possibilities and experimentation that can happen with it.

She is currently serving as an AmeriCorps member as an artist in residence. Jan mentors and teaches artists with disabilities in Austin, TX. Kairos Creative Arts Center and Jan are looking forward to a move to New Mexico where we will be offering art classes and workshops for children, and adults with and without disabilities.

Statement
“It is an amazing thing to produce a painting that someone is drawn to and has a deep emotional response to it. Art brings life to people that they may never encounter otherwise. Art is healing on many levels-spiritual, emotional, physical. I do pray over each piece that God would send the right person for that piece”
