 Studio Conversations Mixed media 7" x 7" |
Jan Meister is a combined media printmaker and mixed media artist who have exhibited internationally. Her work examines the way in which overlooked common everyday objects can take on new meanings when juxtaposed with diverse layers of color, texture, shape and combined with the simple direction and complex identity of line. Her mixed media monoprints portray a characteristic and contemporary style that invites individual responses and interpretations.
Although trained in traditional methods of printmaking, her current approach to combined media printmaking fosters safe, non-toxic and alternative procedures. All these experimental approaches and often unrelated elements blend, almost threatening each other, creating a prototype that is rich, edgy and commanding all at once. Ms. Meisterʼs work appears in the several permanent collections, including the University of Hawaii at
Hilo, the Farmington Museum, NM, Graphic Chemical and Ink, Villa Park IL, Saint Xavier University, Chicago, IL, Daley College, Chicago, IL, Yeisser Art Center, Paducah, KY and the Laredo Center for the Arts, Laredo, TX.
Ms. Meister received her credentials, degrees and formal art training as an artist from Governor State University, University Park, IL, The School of the Art Institute, Chicago, IL, Saint Xavier University, Chicago, IL and The Museum of the Art Institute, Chicago, IL Prints and Drawings Department (associate preparatory of fine works on paper).
