Hi! My name is Jan LeComte. I am a lifelong Artist.. I've published newspaper articles, created cartoons and videos, authored several children's books, painted murals, taught enrichment classes, drawn caricatures or performed mime for special events...the list goes on!
I have contributed my creative skills to many
including; American Cancer Society, Arthritis Foundation, MS Society, Society of the Blind, Red Cross, American Heart Association, March of Dimes, Make a Wish Foundation, schools from preschool to College level, retirement communities, television, radio, newspapers, trade shows, festivals, country clubs, major promotional events, mueums including Cleveland Museum of Art, theaters and more. I was once the bluelight special for American Greetings at K-mart LOL!
How did this journey begin?
At the tender age of 2 Mom caught me scribbling my first mural on a wall. I attended Cooper School of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. As a student I won awards including the National Scholastic Achievement Award and the Intercollegiate Merit Award.
I work in a variety of mediums;
computer, pencil, pen & ink, chalk pastels, watercolor, oils, markers, soft sculpting and am able to emulate many techniques such as realism, caricature, abstract expressionism, pointilism, cubism, impressionism, fauvist, surrealism and whatever else I may be inspired by. Experimenting with new mediums is FUN and I do this when the opportunity presents itself.
I believe being an artist is not just about what you do...It's a reflection of what you are!
