Janelle Marie
The Artist
I’m JanelleMarie, an oil painter with a passion for bold color, rich texture, and celebrating the beauty of nature and femininity. My work is inspired by the quiet strength of cacti, the softness of florals, and the many moods of womanhood, often all blooming together on the same canvas.
When I’m not painting, I’m usually being supervised by my two very opinionated studio assistants (aka my cats). I’m new to sharing my art with the community, but creating has always been a part of who I am. Over the last two years, I've started putting my work out there, entering shows, and actually letting other people see what I've been making. That's been a pretty big deal for me.
Anyway, that's me. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my work. I hope you find something you like.
The Assistants
Pickle, a domestic short hair with a heart full of mischief, is talented at finding trouble. If I'm in the studio; he wants to be in the studio. He’s the self appointed overseer of everything I do, especially when it involves art supplies. If I’m working with oil paints, he’s either supervising from a close distance or actively attempting to “collaborate”.
He has no concept of personal space. Destruction is part of his charm. Life with Pickle means constant curiosity, surprise messes, and a very persistent furry manager watching my every move.
The Assistants
Peanut is the princess of the house. She’s sweet in her own mysterious way but she’s got high standards, especially when it comes to my artwork. Every piece gets a final inspection, complete with a slow blink of approval or a flick of the tail if it’s not up to her standards.
She shares a home with her brother, whom she pretends doesn’t exist. She brings elegance and quiet judgment to every corner she graces.
