About Me

I love to observe nature, cities, and people 

A simple line painted with the brush can lead to freedom and happiness -Joan Miro 



I find inspiration from everyday life

I draw and paint to reinterpret suspended moments in time, and leave room for others to see what I have captured to place them within the scene.

Artist Bio

Janis has been drawing and painting since she can remember.  Born in Victoria, she continues to find inspiration in the familiar surroundings of her childhood.  She is a graduate of the Ryerson School of Interior Design. Professional experience includes international projects with a Toronto- based firm and a year in Hong Kong. She enjoys the controlled balance of the pencil and the "go anywhere" aspect of watercolour. Outside of work she enjoys the outdoors and can be found walking Murphy, the Labrador retriever or going for runs that take her through the trails and sea views around Victoria and the island.
