Who is Jan Harrison?
Jan Harrison is an American painter and sculptor whose work, which primarily features animal imagery, centers on animal nature as it relates to human existence and the collective psyche. Her art is informed by the philosophy of deep ecology, and a monograph detailing her work describes it as “excavat the arcane kingdom of the human psyche, so long tyrannized by the repressive and oppressive forces of socialization." She has exhibited widely in the United States and abroad, and her work is featured in In The Making: Creative Options for Contemporary Art. She currently lives and works in New York’s Hudson Valley.
