Jan is an extraordinarily talented acrylic painter who has been perfecting her art for over four decades. She paints on paper and occasionally includes collage for special textured effects. Jan’s paintings have been described as abstract and impressionistic, with bold colors used in naturalistic palettes.
“I sincerely believe that I paint what I paint because of who I am,” said Dorer. “I hope my work reflects the softness—and yet the boldness—the sensitivity of lines together with the strength of vivid color, sometimes a hint of realism buried in the sea of abstraction. Maybe this is who I am.”
Jan boasts a successful 45-year career that has included first-place awards at numerous competitions and art shows. Her paintings have been featured on numerous covers of textbooks by Allyn and Bacon Publishing and West Publishing. Her paintings have been purchased by more than fifty corporations as well as numerous private collectors both here and in thirteen foreign countries.
