Jan Boettcher




Welcome to Jan Boettcher's Rosemaling

Turn of the Century is offering for purchase, painted-Rosemaled pieces done by Jan Boettcher.

I have been rosemaling since the early 1980's, and have studied extensively with well known teachers here in the U.S., as well as with Norwegian teachers in the U.S. and Norway.

I paint and teach in oils. I paint most of the rosemaling styles, including Rogaland, Old Rogaland, Valdres, Gudbrandsdalen, Telemark, Hallingdal, Vest Agder, and OS.

All projects on this page are "one of a kind". If you wish to purchase an item, please select that particular piece just once. Along with your signed piece, you will receive a brief history of the rosemaling style of that piece. The history makes each item a little more special.

I also accept consignment work and offer classes upon request. Please contact me directly with questions or requests.
