Jan Berry
After studying Art and Education at St. Katharine’s College and Liverpool University, specialising in Printmaking, I became a teacher of young children for many years. I taught in both Liverpool and Herefordshire.
I particularly enjoyed being involved in and helping create the many artistic ventures a Primary School provides. Children’s Art was always a focus and a passion- but I had no time for my own Art.
I left teaching and was able to pursue my own Art nearly 20 years ago and in that time Have been involved with printmaking at Swinmoor House, The Rodd in Presteigne and set up my own small studio in Bromyard. I have exhibited prints and paintings across the County and beyond and been involved in several H. Art exhibitions.
My work has been shown in Hereford Art Gallery and several smaller galleries within Herefordshire.
I enjoy lino printing, pastel painting and working in acrylics and oils.
I am inspired by all aspects ofs the natural world and have a liking for the sea, coastline, harbours and boats. My Great Grandfather was a Harbourmaster in Scotland, so perhaps it’s in the genes.
