Painting, for Jan Munro, is about design and balance. Whatever the subject, she insists that there must be a successful arrangement of shape, tone, and color. The award-winning artist, who is based in the United Kingdom, creates semi-abstract portrayals of still lifes and landscapes, without employing the illusion of three-dimensions on a flat surface. Munro's multi-layered compositions show her artistic process, as she believes that the materials added and taken away reveal the history of an artwork.
