Janice first began painting 20 years ago experimenting with all kinds of different mediums such as pastel, acrylic and watercolour.

Later moving on to using acrylic ink which she found more exciting because of the vibrancy of the colours, often adding tissue paper which gives texture and deliberate shapes to the picture. At other  times it is laid down in a random way and the painting put on top  which can create a different and interesting perspective.

Janice enjoys painting landscapes, especially of Italy, life drawings of models, but her favourite subject is flowers, especially sunflowers and poppies.

Her work is exhibited at three local art societies and has also sold in several local galleries, in Odiham, Hartley Wintney, Richmond, Fleet  and Datchet.

Janice is the leader of a U3A group where she teaches watercolour painting and drawing. www.fleetu3a.org.uk
