JANETTE

WWW.YESSY.COM/JIABSTRACT WWW.JIABSTRACT.ARTSITES.USI STARTED USING ARTWORK AS A WAY OF COPING WITH MY SURROUNGINGS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. I WAS CONSTANTLY SUFFERING WITH A SICKNESS THAT MADE IT SO I COULD NOT DO MUCH OR LEAVE THE HOUSE. SO, I PAINTED. NOW I AM AT A POINT IN MY LIFE WHERE THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE IS TO PAINT. SO THAT IS WHAT I DO EVERYDAY BECAUSE IT FEELS RIGHT.TO TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF IS HARD BECAUSE I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHO THAT IS YET, BUT I AM WORKING ON FIGURING IT OUT.I WAS BORN IN NEVADA, IOWA ON APRIL 27TH OF 1985. SHORTLY AFTER MY BIRTH MY FAMILY MOVED TO THE EASTCOAST WHERE MY FATHER HAD BEEN RAISED. I SPENT ABOUT HALF OF MY LIFE GROWING UP IN MASSACHUETTES AND THE OTHER HALF IN RHODE ISLAND. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA. OTHER THAN THAT I CAN'T REALLY SAY THAT I WANT ANYONE TO KNOW MUCH MORE ABOUT ME. I DON'T THINK THAT IT SHOULD MATTER WHERE I'M FROM, WHAT MY FAMILY IS LIKE, OR WHO I AM BECAUSE THAT ISN'T WHY I DO WHAT I DO. THOSE THINGS DON'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH OF A REFLECTION ON MY WORK. MY ARTWORK IS STICTLY BASED ON A MOMENT TO MOMENT STRUCTURE OF THOUGHTS, FEELING AND IDEAS.I JUST WANT TO SHARE MY WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON SOMETHING ELSE, EVEN IF FOR ONLY A MOMENT. WHEN I FIRST STARTED PAINTING I HAD NO INTENTIONS OF BECOMING AN ARTIST OR TO EVER LET ANYONE ELSE SEE MY WORK LET ALONE SELL WHAT I'VE MADE. BUT NOW, I SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY. I THINK THAT WHAT I HAVE DONE SHOULD BE SHARED BECAUSE IT HELPED ME THROUGH A LOT OF HARD TIMES AND EMOTIONS, SO MAYBE IT COULD HELP SOMEONE ELSE THE SAME WAY.MY WORK IS ALL ABOUT IMPERFECTIONS AND FLAWS. BUT, IT IS ALSO ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF ANYTHING THAT CAN BE FOUND IN EVERYTHING. MY ONLY TRUE DESIRE IS TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL THINGS ABOUT OF THE NOT SO BEAUTIFUL FEELINGS I HARBOR.I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY IN MY WORLD OF WORK AND PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
