Jan Rogers (she/they) graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in 2000, Since then she has developed a unique artistic style characterized by the use of bright, neon colors fused with metallic pigments. 

Working primarily with watercolor and acrylic mediums, Jan is influenced from a personal and introspective source: their own brain, due to the phenomenon known as “synesthesia”. This sensory experience infuses their work with a vibrant and dynamic quality.
