Jan Boettcher

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.
Want to learn more about me? You can read my Bio on the Indiana Artisans website.

I invite you to look through the rosemaled pieces below. You can see larger views of them in our online store where they are available for purchase. These are one-of-a-kind paintings with only one available for sale.
