Jan Stapleton is a professional, Sydney based, contemporary Australian artist/painter who has been exhibiting extensively in Sydney galleries and art exhibitions since 1985. Working in acrylic, mixed media and oil themes of women from earlier works are developed into more universal/mythological and iconic female images. Landscape themes are also explored in a more experimental and poetic manner. The artist's current paintings, in their various forms, explore the interface of spiritual connections with nature and the landscape.
