Always love seeing what Jan is up to. She has so inspiried me over the years.
Jan your work is always not only beautiful, but totally amazing in their construction and use of materials. Great work!
Her ‘Fish Out Of Water’ is quite mesmerizing! I left that page up on my browser and keep going back to look. There’s just something about it that keeps calling me back.
Hi Jan, Just came across your photos of “Tolerance” -Shoes-
Do you have them displayed on any web sites? Would love to send them to friends. Also “Yes we can” Have told so many people about them. You are still the best artist I have ever known. Come to think about it so is Chris!
Hi Cindi,
Thanks so much for your kind comments.
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I have a blog that I post announcements. I also have a page on facebook “Jan Hopkins Alternative Materials” I have most of my current work posted in the photos.
