Jan Morrill discovered her passion for art in second grade, when her teacher allowed students to draw and paint while listening to classical music. In art, she found a new world, and as a child, escaped to it often. She most loves to paint animals (especially dogs!) and particularly enjoys painting custom works of people's pets.Her preferred medium is acrylic paints on canvas, watercolor and yupo paper.

Steve Vanek has also had an interest in drawing and painting from the time he was young and liked to sketch and doodle, though he didn't start creating art until the mid 1980s. He was reading Jung at the time, who emphasized the need for psychic expression.
In the early and mid-nineties, Steve discovered Kandinsky's and Klee's colorful geometric works. He also loved the colors of expressionists like Emile Nolde, Franz Marc, Alexey Jawlensky, The Cobra Group etc., and began studying color theory with Dallas artist Carolyn Ometiz. New York abstract expressionists such as Pollock, Krasner, etc., opened the doors to the beauty of pure color, color for its own sake. Visit Steve's website at www.svanek-art.com.
