Jan Norsetter is an award-winning oil painter known
for vibrant landscape paintings in plein-air and
evocatively detailed studies in still life. Norsetter
also practices the decorative art of rosemaling, using
skill and an artist’s sensibility to embellish items
traditional and modern in an age-old form.
Jan was awarded the Vesterheim Gold Medal in rosemaling
in July, 2018. In addition to her work as an artist,
Norsetter teaches landscape painting and rosemaling.
Jan paints in plein-air (painting in the open air) to
imbue her paintings with a sense of place. She works
outdoors in every season, painting close to home in
Wisconsin and on travels in the United States and
overseas to Italy, Ireland, Scotland, France, and
Norway.
She has exhibited in more than 40 juried, collaborative
or solo art shows. Selected paintings, prints and her
rosemaling are in many permanent and private collections
across the country and Europe. Awards include top honors
in numerous plein air competitions and rosemaling
exhibitions.
