Dynamic mark making and sweeping gestures are signatures of Janelle’s work, results of deep observation and listening to the interconnectedness of ecology, environment and her inner self. Acrylics, graphite and pastels stir a lucid emotional resonance held in shape, line and colour, embodying a sense of both restoration and refreshing exhilaration.
Over a cup of tea, chat with Janelle about her practice, inspiration and techniques while viewing canvases in progress and gain first-view access to finished artworks.
Janelle muses ‘I’m fascinated by the intrinsic imperfection and unapologetic expression of the natural world around me. The way a tree drops its bark in the wind for example, scattering to the ground at my feet; the shapes and gestures of that bark on the ground can be enough to spark a series of compositions in the studio’.
Janelle’s vivid artworks hang in the Stonewell and Marananga guest suites at The Louise.
Bridging Kangaroo Island and the Barossa, this enhancement to the Wildlife to Winery offer takes guests from Southern Ocean Lodge to The Louise by private jet, with intimate tastings and dining along the way.
