Artist Statement

Janice is an eclectic artist. She creates artwork using painting, photography, and pottery.
Creating art is fulfilling. When using these different mediums, they can energize or calm which then influences what concepts develop. It is a unique process as Janice never know, totally, how a piece will finally come together until it is finished.

She enjoys watercolour which is transparent and the light effects are phenomenal. Oil brings texture and a depth while Acrylic and Encaustic make layering fascinating. Photographs are ways Janice capture ideas that she may want to expand on or incorporate into a painting or pottery. They all work differently in improving her “artistic eye”. Janice started her own art business in 2019 and took back her personal power to do what she had always wanted to be - An Artist.

Biography

Janice Webber has 3 great loves in art; painting, photography, and pottery. Drawing/sketching was her first. She carried a small pouch with the essentials; paper, pencil, and eraser and recorded what she saw. Janice then discovered photography and the “Art of Photography” course which got her hooked.

Travelling is another love as Janice gets to see new areas which are recorded in her art. While she was living in Wales and Australia, she started doing formal studies in drawing and painting. She returned to Nova Scotia in 2006 and discovered pottery. She cannot believe how much fun it is to create while throwing clay, adding coloured clays to her designs or carving the clay to create sculptures. Her painting style is mostly abstract realism/surrealism. Pottery is functional and sculptural. Photography centres on the items/scenes that Janice finds fascinating. “Each medium brings something different to art, she stated recently, I cannot decide which one I like the best.”

Janice is a member of a variety of different art groups including Dartmouth Visual Arts Society Contemporary Art Society, Association of Atlantic Area Artists, Visual Arts Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Photography Guild and Nova Scotia Potters Guild. Classes and workshops with local Nova Scotian artists helped expand her knowledge and skill level. Local Galleries: Craig Gallery and the Chase Gallery have shown her work and NSPG has shown for her pottery. She started her own studio “3 P’s in a Pod Art Studio” in 2019.
