My artwork is inspired by the expansive space and magical beauty of the Australian coastline and our sense of connection to coastal places, not always a realistic depiction but one of wonder and beauty.

A rich texture of patterns, forms, and colours when viewed as a whole, my aerial artworks portray a recognisable and familiar landscape. Close -up the paintings reveal clusters of decorative elements, including intricate patterns and texture, and bold plays of colour. The artworks are a depiction of an idealised landscape - a vista of the mind. The coastal landscape is a dedication to the strength of nature and how we feel in these places of refuge; serene, calm and joyous.

A semi- abstract technique inspired by the art movements known as Pointillism and Decorative Art. Janis uses layers of colour and design with acrylic paint, paint pens and golden embellishments. Janis aimed to depict the evolving nature of coastlines through creating movement in her brushstrokes and lines.
