I started painting at Coast Collective at the Pendray Summer Home in Colwood in 2011. My Mother loved to paint so I thought I’d try my hand at it being newly retired! Desiree Bond was my first teacher…I have been in love with art ever since!
StatementJanie resides in Brentwood Bay, BC. She enjoys both painting, sketching & Plein air around Vancouver Island. She takes particular interest in documenting her travels with her husband through painting & sketching subject matter they encounter during their explorations. As well as using her husband’s photography as reference material. She feels her art allows an outlet of creative expression while offering a connection with the fantastic world filled with wonder & beauty that surrounds us everyday.
