Jan Elmore, Mixed Media Artist
Jan Elmore, Mixed Media Artist in Keswick, Virginia, creates wood framed mirrors and sculptures crafted from hardwoods, painted wood, metals, stucco, and canvas.
Many of the materials she uses are off-cuts and scraps from local woodworkers, instrument makers, and recycling enterprises. Small, left-over pieces of wood are shaped into blades or buttons and scraps of copper are filed and hammered, all to be used as elements that add texture and dimension to her work.
By using a variety of media and employing multiple design formats, Elmore rescues materials destined for the landfill and re-purposes them through work that gives new life to the elements.
