The Fine Art Museum of Sedona (FAMoS) is proud to announce the opening of Vibrance, an exhibition exploring the intersection of intuition, innovation, and energetic awareness. Featuring the works of Sedona-based artist Jan Sitts, the exhibit invites viewers to move beyond traditional representation and engage with art as a direct, felt experience.

Rooted in the unique creative and spiritual atmosphere of Sedona, Vibrance showcases practices that prioritize inner perception over the external world.

Sitts - "High Top Shoes" 36"x36 Vibrance: Featuring High Top Shoes by Jan Sitts

Sitts’ work is rooted in intuitive abstraction—an approach that privileges felt experience over literal depiction.

In High Top Shoes, layered textures and earthen tonalities create a field that feels less constructed than unearthed.

The surface operates like sediment: memory accumulated, obscured, and revealed through time.

The central form—ambiguous, hovering between creature and spirit—resists fixed interpretation.

It evokes movement, transition, and interior life.

The painting energy unfolds slowly, asking the viewer to attune rather than decode.

The title High Top Shoes introduces a grounded, human reference—an object tied to youth, journey, and embodiment. Set against the painting’s atmospheric expansiveness, the title creates a dialogue between the earthly and the transcendent. It reminds us that legacy is not abstract; it is carried through lived steps, repeated gestures, and decades of disciplined practice.

Sitts’ career, spanning decades in Sedona, reflects a profound commitment to intuitive process. Even in her physical absence, the visual language she refined persists—layer by layer, mark by mark—transmitting presence through paint.

High Top Shoes stands as a meditation on endurance. It affirms that art, when created from sustained interior listening, does not end. It reverberates.
