About Jann
Jann Harrison, an accomplished artist with deep southern roots resides in Nashville, Tennessee. Harrison paints in a pop humorist style with a bold and bawdy brand of humor which has a strong presence in her work and is prevalent when she probes the lighter side of life. She enjoys combining realism with elements of fantasy, tossing in an unexpected touch of the surreal for flavor. Jann pushes the boundaries of her subjects to the place where they come alive and their story begins to unfold. The incorporation of these unexpected elements is her whimsical trademark and the kiss is her seal.
In her series, The Perils of Francois, Harrison chronicles the mythical Francois Andre Midas Fibian V, Jann keeps a journal of Francois's travels and becomes more than an artist; she is a travel guide, roving reporter, social commentator. Harrison has achieved international acclaim for the Perils of Francois Collection.
Her art breathes magic into everyday life with humor and romance and brings smiles to the faces of those who enjoy her work. Life is the journey; art is the journal of where we have been and whom we have encountered along the way whether it is surreal landscapes, whimsical still life or figurative fantasies.
