Jan Matson Art
Jan Matson is a professional oil painter based in Canberra, ACT, known for her vibrant and textured works created with a palette knife. Specialising in coastal scenes, she captures the beauty of serene ocean vistas and lively beach scenes with rich, expressive layers of colour.
Beyond seascapes, Jan's passion for animals shines through in her charming, sculptural paintings. Starting with loose, gestural sketches on canvas, she builds depth and movement with thick, luscious oil paint, bringing each subject to life. Her artwork is well-suited for a variety of spaces, from kitchens and nurseries to collections of animal lovers.
Jan also finds inspiration in the landscapes of New South Wales, Canberra, and Australia’s east coast, translating the region’s natural beauty into dynamic, textured compositions. Her distinctive style and love for colour make her work both captivating and deeply engaging.
