Artist Spotlight on Micky Jansen
In our commitment to creative community, we invite you to get to know artist Micky Jansen.
I had the opportunity to visit with Micky at her beautiful Blue Amazon studio, tucked away under wooded canopies in the quiet solitude of Goshen; where her muses are the first thing you see when arriving at the property. Flowering Cherry and early blossoms on Red Maple are right outside the studio windows, as are the occasional bear.
Micky's art with strong female figures, tell stories of power found, of deep healing, and of growth and conviction. She weaves tales of resilience, born from personal triumphs over adversity.
Having survived breast cancer, recovered from a paralyzing injury, and spending two years in total isolation on the Mogollon Rim. Her journey of rising from the ashes infuses every stroke with a profound sense of empowerment.
Sitting with Micky, I’m struck by her quiet strength, the same strength that emanates from her work. Her paintings mono prints, line drawings even sculpture; its clear that she has poured a piece of herself into every square inch of this amazing space.
It’s invigorating and it is inspiring. Mickys work, is a true testament to the transformative power of art and the indomitable strength within us all.
The a mano Gallery is proud to hold several of Mickys works and is excited to announce an upcoming workshop she is offering exclusively at a mano. More details to follow.
