Jan Wurm

Having

lived in California and Europe, Jan Wurm has honed an eye for social

patterns and conventions. She currently divides her time between

Berkeley and L.A. and her hand between drawing and painting. Wurm has

taught for University of California Berkeley Extension and lectured

extensively. The past Director of Exhibitions and Curator of Art at

the Richmond Art Center, Wurm has authored exhibition catalogues and

curated major exhibitions focused on a humanist tradition. Jan Wurm's

paintings, drawings, and artist's books examine daily life to reveal

aspects of contemporary culture which inform our relationships.

Infused with warmth, humor, and an energetic line, the works invite

the viewer to join the moment. Her work, exhibited internationally,

is in collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,

Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Achenbach Foundation for Graphic

Arts, New York Public Library Print Collection, Archiv Verein der

Berliner **Künstlerinnen, Universität für angewandte Kunst in

Vienna, and Tiroler Landesmuseen, Innsbruck.
