Jan Chenoweth, an artist now living in North Carolina, has been actively involved in making art, exhibiting and arts education since the early 1970s.

Her early years in Miami, Florida provided a rich stimulus for the sense of color and texture that have remained a vital part of her work throughout her career. Colors, forms and structures from nature have and continue to be , starting points for her work. Living in and exploring various regions of the country have had a major impact on her work.

The majority of her undergraduate work was done at the University of Illinois and Virginia Intermont College. She received her MFA degree in Visual Art from Florida State University.

Ms. Chenoweth taught painting, drawing, color theory, three-dimensional design and two-dimensional design for more than fourteen years at the college level. In 1994 she left teaching to devote more time to her studio work. She is actively involved with many nonprofit arts organizations as a board member, curator and volunteer.

Her work is in numerous public and private collections.

With sculptor, Roger Halligan, she opened Two Oaks Studio in 1997.
