TheArtBoat website provides a place to browse Jan’s paintings,  visit her blog to catch up with news about her latest artworks and travels, and find out where on the canal network TheArtBoat will be “popping-up” next.  Visit TheArtBoat’s online shop to purchase original paintings, prints and gifts.

Each one of my prints is taken from an original Jan Vallance painting and printed on cotton canvas. It is then handfinished with metallic swirls and highlights to give it the character of an original.
