Breaking Boundaries as a Self-Taught Artist with Jayn Anderson
Based in North Carolina, Jayn Anderson shares her approach to making powerful abstract paintings and advice for building a career as a self-taught artist. Following an unconventional path, Jayn reminds us that we can find success through many different routes (and detours!) and dispels the myth that we must follow one singular path to become successful artists. Here’s what we discuss:
1. Why Jayn firmly believes that it is never too late to become an artist, and how starting her art career at 40 was the best decision she ever made.
2. What led Jayn to approach her work with a pressure-free, experimental mindset, and how doing so strengthens and invigorates her art practice.
3. Why it’s important for artists to embrace change, follow curiosity, and give ourselves permission to explore new territory!
About Jayn:
Jayn Anderson is a North Carolina based abstract painter. She spent her childhood on the East Coast before moving to England to study. During her years there, Jayn was afforded many opportunities to travel, including several solo trips. Some of her most memorable travels were to Mallorca, Ireland, Israel, Uruguay and the Czech Republic, as well as many other spectacular locations. These deeply meaningful experiences continue to shape the work that Jayn creates today.
Jayn embraces the inherent chaos of life, thriving in ever-changing environments. Her work mirrors this spontaneity and energy in every mark that she paints. Jayn has a fiercely independent spirit, with an empathetic, old soul. She uses music as a vessel to channel her experiences and the emotions they evoke into her artwork. She prefers not to think about what she’s creating but instead letting intuition and automation be her guide.
When she’s not creating, Jayn enjoys reading, exploring nature and staying active while spending time with her family.
