Jan's Picks

People often ask me where I get my inspiration from.  Faith and nature are my primary inspirations, but I also draw inspiration from books and movies.  

Here is a book I recently read and just loved:

Favorite Books - Jan Oliver

Favorite movies:

- The Milagro Beanfield War
- Frida
- Pan's Labryinth


Favorite Music:
I paint to a wide variety of music including:

- Andre Boticelli (anything)
- Jars of Clay (Redemption Songs)
- James Taylor (anything)
- Spanish acoustic guitar (various)

I hope you check 'em out and find some inspiration of your own!

Happy Easter!

A message from Jan:

Dear Friends,
I'm writing you on a snowy Easter eve and hoping that you will enjoy a beautiful and blessed Easter with family and friends.

There is so much going on, I'm having trouble keeping up. Here are some upcoming "happenings".  I hope to see you at some of my upcoming shows!  There are also some great opportunities to get some of my new work at great deals which benefit charities and the good work they do in the world.  As always, thank you for all your support and kind words throughout the year!  You add meaning and richness to my life by allowing me to share my work with you.  Wishing you joy and peace !

—Jan Oliver
