Jan Fordyce is a Denver-based oil painter whose work explores the shifting, layered qualities of water as both subject and metaphor. Influenced by her background in fiber arts and photography, she uses traditional and non-traditional tools—shaper brushes, fine brushes, and glazes—to build intricate surfaces that echo the movement of light through liquid.
Her process involves layering vibrant oil colors to create compositions that invite viewers into a meditative space, where movement and stillness coexist. Each piece is a visual and emotional inquiry: what does water feel like? How can reflection hold both clarity and mystery?
Fordyce’s paintings do more than depict water—they evoke the experience of standing at its edge, watching light flicker across the surface, and feeling the quiet pull of something both intimate and vast.
