JAN MCCARTHY

I am constantly deciphering and incorporating the abstract part of life in my work with the intent to evoke emotion, bring together community, unleash the imagination, stir thoughtful reflection and give way to images of something meaningful.

My art is inspired and influenced by travel, architecture, nature and life with subtle and inspirational messages often hidden in between the layers of mixed media, textural elements and other materials.
