"Since childhood I've longed to be
an artist, however it wasn't until I had children of my own that I had
the opportunity and wisdom to follow that path. I began painting large
whimsical images for my children when I realized the undeniable passion
for simply creating. Seeing a pattern of colors and shapes emerge on the
canvas is extremely rewarding."
Sabrina
Jansen was born and raised in Southern California and currently resides
in San Juan Capistrano with her family. She has studied extensively both
in university art programs and workshops with acclaimed artists. Her
admiration of the techniques of masters, John Singer Sargent, Joaquin
Sorolla and Sergei Bongart, has provided inspiration and valuable tools
to apply to her own paintings. She has studied with contemporary masters
Scott Burdick and Jove Wang, who have taught her the subtleties of
creating a powerful painting. She spends a great deal of time
considering compositions that are rich in content and reflect her desire
to depict light as it falls across the subject. "My goal is to push
myself with color, design and brush strokes to create a painting that
resonates with the energy and passion I felt while painting." The
result of Sabrina’s vision for her artwork culminates into a beautiful,
subtle palette, filled with expressive brushwork, and texture. Her
paintings are a joy to behold, captivating the viewer with a sense of
place, time, and mood.
