The Heart Behind the Healing Art
“I create from the heart, so you can feel more connected to yours.”
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Janine, a mixed media artist creating soulful expressive pieces that help you reconnect with your inner world. My work is made for the seekers, the feelers and the women rewriting their stories - those longing for more colour, meaning and healing in their lives.
Why I Create
My art is rooted in healing, hope and emotional growth. It’s colourful, symbolic and often layered with texture and depth. Just like us. Every brushstroke is intentional; created to evoke feeling, ignite reflection and bring warmth to the spaces you live in.
This isn’t just art for your walls. It’s art for your soul.
The Journey So Far
Over the years, I’ve poured my story into each canvas. Exploring themes like becoming, belonging, resilience and love. My collections such as "Learning to Love" and "Life is Beautiful", are deeply personal whilst they speak to something universal. They remind us we’re not alone. That transformation is possible. That beauty is always within reach.
Who My Work Is For
I create for women on a path of self-discovery. For the ones healing, rising, becoming whole again.
I also create for the inner child and for the children who love colour, joy and feeling safe. And yes, men often find themselves moved too. Often buying for the women in their lives or connecting with the rawness of emotion in the work.
