Janicke Johansen is a practising artist and designer with many years of study in both the Arts and Design Industries including a Visual Arts Degree and certificates in Interior Design and Desktop Publishing. She is also currently working part time as a primary teacher.
Janicke’s work is interpretive and modern combining textures, patterns and intense colours to create emotive responses to her immediate environment and emotional memory. There are recurring themes such as people, buildings scapes, flora and fauna that emerge from her work, often with a quirky and childlike innocence about them.
With concerns about current environmental issues, Janicke is determined to limit her impact on the earth by reducing, reusing and recycling resources such as water, paper and electricity. Her ambition is to continue to limit further environmental impact and to pass on this message to current and future artists.
Janicke has four artworks on display and for sale at one hundredth gallery until 26 June 2011.
