Universal Contours - Abstract Landscape

As an intuitive artist, I never know the direction that a painting will take, but I trust that as I hold my interests and intentions in my consciousness then the process of my painting will lead me.  This is part of the magic of creativity that I adore.  

This time my process lent itself perfectly to me trusting.  My intentions enabled me to abstract my points of interest.  

I share with you my interpretation of the deep connection within the whole universe and various elements that appeal and fascinate my heart.

In this abstraction I've included my concept of the contours of our earth, the colours within magma, the gasses in space, the animals on our planet, and the trees which sustain life on earth.

Janice is not new to creativity. “Over the past 25 years I've explored the world as a chef, yoga teacher, natural therapist and preschool educator and have seen how each of these have influenced my voice as an artist. My strongest creative influence are my late grandmother, Sima Eliovson, an accomplished horticulturalist, author and artist, and my father who both surrounded me with a rich visual library from an early age.”
