JANICE YKEMA

Janice appreciates the energy, emotions and characters found in the animal kingdom. Some of these closely paralleling those of mankind.  She brings a sense of movement, life and character to her canvas.Janice strives to bring a smile to your face by capturing animals in human situations, poking fun at our life experiences.

Inspiration originates from her subjects or wordplay. She then creates a visual story using the art *tools* at her command (composition, colour, brushstroke), constantly challenging herself to learn something new.

Janice’s next goal is to create a children’s book, while maintaining her art practice. She has been painting now for 12 years and has been awarded numerous prizes. Her work can be found in both private and corporate collections.
