HI, I’M JANNA
I’m so glad you landed here
Living on the East Coast, I feel at home among wildflowers and the salty ocean air.
Although I have loved creating from a young age, I first followed a passion for nursing and my creativity showed its colours in the art of caring for others. When I started painting, I discovered a new way to respond to the beauty around me. I couldn’t get enough and I began to pour my heart into painting. I shifted my focus into creating art inspired by my coastal life while continuing to care for others as a nurse.
Painting has taught me how to slow down and take time to notice the small details that make up the bigger picture.
I hope my art reminds you that life is beautiful
What I care about
Creating art from a place of appreciation and curiosity
Capturing memories that bring meaning and beauty to your space
Inspiring awe and wonder in your own creative journey
Bringing to mind the natural beauty that is all around us
A GLIMPSE OF MY DAY-TO-DAY
A typical day of painting starts and ends in nature. With the air often cold and wet, I put on my thermal socks, grab my rain jacket and head to the coastline. The ocean breeze takes over my senses as I trek through fields, over rocks or through the sandy shoreline to arrive at my painting destination. At times I am fully equipped with supplies but often I look to the rocks to be my pallet and the sea shells as a vessel for my water. I sit and take in my surroundings. Paying attention to the textures, colours and the way different shapes and shadows combine. Setting paint to paper, I capture the scene and hope that the feeling and magic of the moment is cemented in each brush stoke. I head home with cold cheeks and delight in my heart.
In nature, I see with clarity that goodness is all around.
