Jan Saia, Original Oils, Limited Editions
JAN SAIA — Artist, Jan Saia's paintings are delicate yet bold, tonal yet colorful. At the same time her naturalness of intent shines through, emotionally touching her viewers. Jan Saia says, when asked what inspires her, "Painting is a form of meditation to me, and the more that I've painted the more I've learned to really see the world around me, therefore, "my truth as I see it" is my inspiration."
Jan Saia spent most of her childhood in rural Wisconsin. At the age of 13 her family moved to California and in this new environment that she began to receive the first words of encouragement about her innate talent as an artist.
Jan Saia's gift was natural to her, and after graduation from high school she nurtured that talent by taking as many college art classes as possible. While her main interest remained watercolor painting, Saia explored other avenues of creativity including Interior Design and Architecture. It was during this time that she visited a local artist supply store in Santa Rosa where she happened upon a lecture by a classically trained oil painter. This was a defining moment in her life, allowing her to take the plunge into studying intensely for several years with her "mentor" ... then into becoming a full time oil painter.
Since that time, studying with several well-known painters has proved helpful in developing her distinctive atmospheric style. Yet, Jan Saia finds for herself, many long hours of painting along with a total commitment have proven to be the strongest influence on her work. Now on most days you will find Jan Saia fulfilled, painting in her studio, living her lifelong dream as a full time "Artist."
