Jan Knox works in mixed water-based media on both canvas and paper.  She paints with watercolor, acrylic, ink, pencils and sometimes adds collage.   Her inspiration comes from her training as a geologist and her travels.   Nature in all its brillant colors and textures are the subjects of her paintings.   The emotions and memories of the wonderous sights of the world --- such as an erupting volcano, snowclad peaks, the rainforests, the deserts, icebergs off Antartica and man's interaction with these remote places, all inspire the heart.

 She paints from memory, photographs and on location in Texas and the southwest.   She has been a professional artist for over thirty years, and is based in Austin, Texas.
