For Jan Chenoweth art has been a life-long pursuit
enriched by her formative years in South Florida and
unquenched wanderlust.  She was born in Miami Beach
Florida in 1945 and after many stops along the way,  
now resides and works in Lake City, SC.  Her BFA
studies were primarily at the University of Illinois and
Virginia Intermont College with a concentration in
painting. She received her MFA in Studio Arts with a
sculpture concentration from Florida State University. 
Her early years in the tropics provided a rich stimulus
for the sense of color and texture that have remained 
a vital part of her art throughout her career.
Colors, forms and structures have always been starting
points for her art.
