Chelsea Gallery will continue to feature native Chelsea Artist Jan Dorer through the end of the year. Her opening reception, “Celebrate”, held November 14th, was well attended and a lot of fun.
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. Her current work is conceptual in nature however this show includes work from Dorers’ private collection, never shown or for sale before This is also the first time that the Gallery will be featuring Jan’s giclée prints, both framed and unframed.
Jan boasts a successful 45-year career that has included first-place awards at numerous competitions and art shows. With husband Gil as her business partner, Jan began her storied career showing and selling paintings at the early Ann Arbor Art Fairs in 1963.
Jan’s paintings have been described as abstract and impressionistic, with bold colors used in naturalistic palettes. The pieces presented in “Celebrate” represent several phases of maturation and change in Jan’s work.
A number of original artworks from the Dorers’ private collection will be on display, as well, and available for sale.
