About Jan Anderson ~ Bead Artist
 
 
Off-loom bead weaving, starting with needle, thread
and beads - that’s what attracted me to this art form.  
No complicated equipment necessary.

I consider my work architecture - building something
of beauty with perhaps only a vague idea at first and
then creating a form with color and texture.

After a career in business, I had a second career as a corporate pilot.  Starting at a very young
age and continuing through both careers, I played with fiber, ususally creating something wearable.  
After discovering beadwork in 1997, that became my main focus and the discovery process of
beadwork design has challenged me ever since.

As a member of NanC Meinhardt’s thirteenth Master Class and now Vista Point Artists, my
work has been shown at the San Luis Obispo Art Center and the Houston Center for
Contemporary Craft.  My jewelry designs can be seen at Bjorge’s Gallery in Bigfork, Montana
and Panache in Lakeside, Montana as well as the Esther Wells Collection in Laguna Beach,
California.  In addition, my work can be purchased from me directly and at trunk shows held at my
home in Prescott, Arizona annually.

When not working with  beads, I enjoy hiking and recently met my goal of hiking on every continent.  
Often design ideas come while high on a mountain somewhere in the world.
