Jan Spencer is a Sydney-based artist inspired by her cycling travels in Australia and abroad. Her intimate collage panels beam with intense colour, simplified form and cheerful energy.

During her travels Jan fills her handmade diaries with notes and sketches. Upon returning to her Rozelle studio she uses these initial sketches to render collages using luscious thick Caran d’Ache oil crayons on coloured papers. The final compositions are pasted on art board and sealed with varnish so the works require no framing or glass.

Jan has exhibited for over 30 years. Her work features in the Artbank Collection, The State Bank Collection and corporate and private collections in Australia, France, Japan, the USA and the UK.
