You
can almost hear the creatures breathing in Jan Martin McGuires
paintings. More than just reality, she succeeds in capturing
the soul and nobility of beasts and birds big and small.

"Having
hunted all over the globe, I have seen and studied nature first
hand. Jan's work brings the qualities of nature to the canvas.
The colors and texture that she uses make her paintings realistic.
Whether it is a beautiful little bird or a hard charging rhino,
her work is exquisite."

"Over
the span of a quarter century, it has been exciting, for a viewer,
to watch Jan Martin McGuire evolve and mature as a wildlife painter.
She's gone from being a mere member of the pack to now being
at the forefront of it. Her compositions are original and her
style distinctive. She is one artist who puts in a lot of field
time and it shows. I look forward to every new painting coming
off her easel."
