</blockquote>
<hr class="w-100">
<i class="fa fa-quote-left fa-4x stroke"></i>
<p>I approach painting in a way that reflects my practice of meditation, where the mind becomes quiet and deeper connections are possible. I am concerned with using light and colour in a way that offers space for reflection and contemplation.</p>
<hr class="w-100">
<p> My work is influenced by my travels to northern countries, like northern Sweden, Iceland and the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Their stark landscapes, the clarity of the air and the quality of the light conspire to create a minimal, reductive quality in my paintings.</p>
<hr class="w-100">
<p>In my earlier work I applied oil paint in extremely thin, translucent layers that overlapped each other like delicate panes of glass, building up the surface gradually, layer by layer, creating luminous colour fields that appear to vibrate. They were experiential surfaces that offered quiet space, a form of visual meditation.</p>
<hr class="w-100">
<p>Influenced by two recent residencies in Iceland, my current work carries forward the idea of painting in a minimalist way and is focused on creating a quick gestural response to the land. This small gestural work is accompanied by 2 or 3 other colour-field paintings of the same size, which daily, sometimes hourly provide a record of the changing colours of the landscape. I'm working in a small, intimate scale, putting together the panels in a series. Each series represents a moment in time, as though to hold it.</p>
<hr class="w-100">
<p>As the series has developed, the small gestural work has dropped away, reducing my memory of the land and my connection with it to it's simplest component, colour. As well, the various panels have moved away from each other, better depicting the space of this northen country, the room to breathe.</p>

<p class="bold ital">1. Introductory Workshop:</p>
<hr class="l-r w-100">
<blockquote>
<p>In this lively, exploratory workshop, using the softly impasto medium of cold wax mixed with oil paint, discover how to add layers to create overlapping colour fields and experiment with texturing and mark-making. The focus will be on combining techniques of cold wax medium with the structure of painting and the elements of design. The intention is to balance playful, intuitive exploration with an understanding of composition.There will be digital slide presentations and group discussions about art and process combined with lots of individual attention to help develop each student's painting vocabulary and personal direction.</p>

<p class="bold">*For students who have taken my Advanced workshop only</p>
<p>In this class students will spend time developing their own direction in their work in fast gestural paintings as well as more developed paintings.There will be private sessions with Janice and we'll have lots of group discusssions, getting feedback from each other and from the instructor. Students will come with the beginnings of a body of work, or an idea they wish to focus on or develop further.</p>

<p class="bold ital">4. Creating Through Play:</p>
<hr class="l-r w-100">
<blockquote>
<p>One of the most important ways of generating ideas for your paintings, developing a new body of work and opening to your creativity is through play. Letting yourself play is allowing your mind to move out of the way, and trusting in yourself in and in the universe. We will spend a good deal of the workshop painting with abandon. There will be some focus on reviewing composition and the elements of design: working on the concept of combining head and heart. This workshop will be beneficial if you are stuck and don't know where to go next.Open to all skill levels.</p>

<hr class="l-r w-100">
<blockquote>
<p>As a textile artist, I was interested in working with Janice because I lean towards minimalism. My mentorship sessions with Janice gave me new targets to aim for in my studio practice. It was refreshing to have sound assessment of my current work and guidance to learn lessons that I did not realize I needed. After working with Janice my art has risen to a new level. My work remains my own but the influence is undeniable.</p>

<p>You must be pleased with all the positive feedback about the [Iceland] workshop and your instruction. I am not at all surprised. You are the best. It is why I keep taking your workshops no matter what the level. I always learn something and come away inspired to keep on making art.

<p>I took Janice’s workshop because I am moving towards making my work more powerful through simplification. The workshop sessions guided us through a perfect combination for learning; through teaching, discussion, reflection and practice. Thank you Janice, for helping me to recognize some of my inner barriers and then gently nudging me to work through them. Visually, my compositions have become much stronger. Internally, I am discovering, and strengthening, the connection between my work and the real essence of my subject.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>I recently participated in an advanced workshop in Janice’s Rockwood Studio. It is a marvellous setting with woods, fields and streams all around. The solitude was wonderful for eliminating all distractions and getting down to painting “business”. The workshop involved a combination of creative meditation, technical practice, and ongoing assessment of our own and each other’s work. I came away understanding the basis of composition in abstract art, and achieving greater technical ability to carry out my visions. I highly recommend any workshop led by Janice who is an amazing facilitator as well as a talented artist.</p>
