Mapes, Jan

Colorado-based artist Jan Mapes is usually known for her high-relief bronze sculpture depicting Western life and fauna - but she is an accomplished painter as well. Her oil paintings reflect her love of the West, especially the landscape, cowboys, cattle, and wildlife. Says Mapes: “I love to be outside, immersed in the wonder of creation. There are so many things to discover and enjoy! It’s my sanctuary where my heart can get quiet and I can hear God’s voice.”

Jan Mapes’s work has been featured in important museum exhibitions and in publications including Cowboys & Indians, Western Art Collector, Southwest Art, and Wildlife Art.
