Three years ago these two women were dissatisfied. . .with their professional tanking --

environment —— Jan ~— college instructor in communications
college aria vivaciously searching rar her proper place —— like most American women she put
in her time with South Centlal Bell —- They had similar Feelings about their performances

in society —— these negative teelinas gave them a positive ialt —_ They shared ‘ma same
motivating forces, had an equal amount of energy -- and the necessary creativity to

boot -— They ioined forces -- Results were “sculpture in light and plastic.“ Their ioint
dedication, new surge, vigor and cantidence and ability was such that they dared

dropping out «- pooled theil money tor necessary materials and equipment and ventured

out -- Materials consist at sheets at plcxiglass, neon lighting, electrical wiring and

‘other experimental lighting such as lucite rods which are able to conduct and refract

light, equipment being saws at various sizes, vacuum machinery for molding plastic, ovens
to heat plastic —— torches —— space to work —— All these tangibles were prerequisite in

order to obtain their so desired dramatic visual results. Their initial investment was such
that it would have sent the average individual back into that comfortable 8-to—5—get-'
payed—every—Friday way of living.

Today, three years later —— Jan and Janice have had their rirst showing in New
York otter many local showings —— (Orleans Gallery). They did go through those ever
so famous "starving artist“ days, they say. Their enthusiasm continues to grow and is
now ready to involve ather people. Their work has an unlimited tuture. Upcoming
will be a new concept in gallery showing by Jan and Janice in their own newly created
environment. They also plan to have talented opprentices involved in producing sculp»
ture multiples.

today, 75% at art school students are women. For those who make art a profession the
road is rough —— in galleries throughout the notion only about l8% of the work exhibited
is by women —— 8% of museum collection is by women.

Armed with power tools, plastic rods, and positive determination these two women are
maklni changes in these statistics. Their sculptures surely create excitement in a room.
