Jan Golden Studio & Gallery is delighted to present RENEWAL, an exhibition of new work by gallery artist Jan Golden. Golden is a Houston based, LGBTQ+ visual artist who chronicles the world around her through abstract photography and various mixed-media techniques, including collage, encaustic, and sculptural assemblage. In her latest series, RENEWAL, Jan gives visual expression to the need for structure and meaning during this unknowing and undefined time of COVID. Her detailed and layered mixed-media works convey order and chaos in mosaics of subtle encaustic and in vivid pallets of acrylic, inks, and collage on wood. Golden is an intuitive abstract artist who holds a BA in Art from St. Andrews University, Laurinburg, NC. A constant seeker of knowledge, she has continued studies at the Atlanta College of Art, Spruill Arts Center in Atlanta, and the Glassell School of Art, Houston. Golden was awarded Outreach United’s Artist of the Year 2018 and has also been a Runner-Up and Finalist for Out▼Smart’s Gayest & Greatest. Golden’s artwork has been exhibited throughout the South and held in numerous private and corporate collections both local and internationally. The artist will be in attendance at the opening reception on Saturday, June 11th.
