About JANICE

Art has always been a part of Janice’s life: her mother and great aunt were artists. She always enjoyed art in school and when she became a teacher it was an integral part of her curriculum and assignments. As a principal and later district administrator, Janice promoted art in the classrooms specifically supporting the disciplined based art program  sponsored by The Getty Museum. She has taught after school art classes for students and adults and continues to do so.

About 5 years before Janice retired, she started taking art classes, first at Harbor College and then Otis College of Art. Janice paints both representational and abstract pieces, but  abstract is her true love. In her paintings Janice tries to interpret or respond to an idea or an emotion, but most of all she tries to make something beautiful. Janice’s work has been in local shows, including CA101, Palos Verdes Art Center,  Resin Gallery, Shock Boxx and Newport City Art Show. She is a member of the Los Angeles Art Association and PVAC’s  Artist Open Group and The Studio Artists. She is also part of the South Bay Artist’s Collective.
