Artist's Statement
“Art is making what you see inside real on the outside”
excerpts from Jan Featured in a One Hour Film with Ken Salzstine“Explorations in Creativity” *SFSU Film Award
For me art is an outward expression of my inner world, evolving visionary 2reality into artistic reality. The most exciting part of the process happens when I get into the zone of creativity, that magical state of mind when I become so involved and present with the process that a sense of inner-connectedness takes over. Then the adventure begins.
A few years ago I resurrected my life-long fascination with the cultural treasures of ancient Egypt. As a sculptor and painter, I do my best to in-view each piece with my concept of the meaning inherent in ancient tradition. My sense of deep inter-connectedness with ancient Egypt knows no time or distance. As I progress in my artistic education, each new project enhances my developmental experience and introduces me to worlds of new ideas, concepts and understandings that grace every area of my life. It is my hope that the wings will speak to you personally and offer a spark of interest in a long ago culture that continues to silently speak to artists, scientists, archeologists and historians throughout the world. – Jan Hazelton






ABOUT HAZELTON ART WORKS
Hazelton Art Works is nestled in a rural setting near Mount Rainier in Washington State. Our studio is enhanced with a view of the Mountain, luscious trees and an inviting garden. It’s the perfect setting for creating beautiful works of art. Our sculptures are individually cast and painted by the artist. We first pour the cast and insert the hangers in the back. When the base sculpture is completely dry the finished piece is coated with a sealer. Now the painting begins. First a base coat of primary colors and then we add feathering and gradation. Finally another sealer coat is added for protection and ease of cleaning. The entire project takes up to six hours for each piece. Now we have a beautiful work of art. Jan Hazelton is the artist for the Giclée prints. The original painting is scanned and printed onto a canvas. The end result is stunning. Our customers have a difficult time realizing that the print isn’t an original painting. Each piece has a frame painted onto the canvas which eliminates the need for expensive framing. Each print in a series is signed, dated and numbered. We have two great quality control experts on hand to supervise the whole place. Galahad and Gandalf make sure that everything is running smoothly.
