Jan Gaumnitz has been an active artist in the Lawrence community since 1967. She works in 4 mediums: painting, sculpture, photography and printmaking. Nature has been her strongest influence although anything that catches her interest is relevant. Styles of presentation range from realistic to abstract with exploration of materials, new techniques always important.
