Meet - Jan Sessions

My artistic journey started when I was just a little girl. My mom taught me how to sew and quilt, and I had a blast making clothes, drapes, and other stuff for my family. I also loved to color and draw, but it wasn't until I was 62 that I started painting.

After my hubby got sick and I had to quit my job to take care of him, I realized I needed a new hobby. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought canvas, brushes, paint, and books, and I taught myself the basics of painting.

But I knew I needed more help and instruction, so I took lessons with my niece from Janice Sumler. Our weekly lessons were a joy, and I discovered that painting was not only relaxing but also a wonderful way to express myself.

Painting has become my passion, and I paint every chance I get. I have entered my paintings in art shows and have won several ribbons. But more importantly, I have found that creating art brings me great happiness and fulfillment. I hope that my paintings bring joy to others as well.

I have found a way to combine my love of sewing and my passion for painting. I now make quilted bags and embellish them with my painted designs. I enjoy creating unique and beautiful bags that are both functional and artistic.
