The mid 1990's saw Jan employed as Creative recipe designer for Harrods food halls, also providing an exclusive dinner party service for her private clientelle.

After several years she became unhappy by the business practices of large organisations and has now devoted herself to the more enduring product of the artist/chef, applying her natural abilities and expressions in her original artistic works.

Having lived on Paxos, Greece for three years painting from a shop on the Quay at Gaios. Jan returned to Richmond where for ten years she ran her own studio/gallery from a boathouse on the riverside.

Forced by rental increases, she left her boat house Gallery - entirely stocked and ran by herself for 13yrs- in 2013 and adopted the precarious role of Artisan market trader, retailing both her own original Art and own recipe Belgian Chocolate Truffles.

Having traded at Markets, Food festivals and with an on-line presence, Jan became aware of the need for a small, exclusive, web site to encourage, support and promote other fine Artisan Traders, which led to her opening Wiltshire Artisans both a website promoting small rural producers & a seasonal Artisan Country Food Market in The Coach House at Great Chalfield Manor, Wiltshire
