RANDOLPH, Vt.—Oil paintings by local artist Jan Fowler are on display through Feb. 8 in the Gifford Gallery at Gifford Medical Center. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Fowler is, “at heart, a landscape painter” and paints what she loves, she said, “working farmland and barns, weather, and the forests and waters of Vermont and beyond.”
Raised in Indiana, Fowler began painting as a child and continued her focus on art through her university career. Later she and her husband chose Vermont to make their home, and since 1977 have lived in a farmhouse in Randolph. Here Fowler shifted her love of painting to creating gardens and developed a landscape design business. She returned to painting in 2004, retired her design business, and now paints full-time.

The Gifford Gallery is located just inside the hospital’s main entrance at 44 S. Main St., Route 12, in Randolph. For more information, call 802-728-2380 or email .
