Photography has evolved but will always remain pure in my heart .My journey began in South Africa and through the lens I saw a divided nation.

When I was younger, I never attended any art academies to learn how to paint or draw, mainly because I never really had an interest in the arts. It was not until I got married and had children that I suddenly decided to take up painting. In 2008, I enrolled in an arts academy program at the Hyundai Department Store Culture Center. At what I then considered to be the relatively late age of 40, this was my first ever experience in learning how to paint.
Interview with Jan Zhou
I grew up in Shanghai in the 70s and 80s. We didn’t have many choices at the time. My studying was limited to classrooms and text books. The first time I was exposed to art was attending an art history lecture while I was studying the mechanical design in college. It marked a turning point in my life. Immediately, I was drawn to art as a means of self-expression and I started to learn drawing and painting. It was then that my artistic talent was recognized; I made up my mind to be a fashion designer because I thought that would be the more pragmatic choice.
