Jan Barnes

Mixed Media Sculptor

Jan is a long-time resident of Piha. She attended Elam School of Fine Arts graduating with a MFA (Hons) in 1988. Jan’s focus was on abstract painted constructions using acrylic on folded structures. She used lightweight material supported by aluminium poles as well as acrylic on plywood. Her inspiration comes from kites, sails and boats.

Jan later experimented with different media including encaustic and clay. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally and today her work still stands as impactful contemporary sculptural wall art.

When not in her studio creating Jan has been involved in building, local history, genealogy, family and enjoying the west coast.

These artworks ‘Construction’ are recent releases from Jan’s private collection.
