Janice’s ebullient art reflects her creative process. She states, “There are few things as magical as taking a piece of paper and creating something interesting and colorful on its blank, white surface. Thinking of the nuances of color, shape, and line can hold my interest for hours as with each mark I consider something — life, love, loss or hope.”

Janice Phelps Williams’s Artist’s Statement: “I like to think every piece I create is infused with gratitude for those who supported or taught me, who commissioned or collected my work, and believed in my dreams. Every line, shape, color, and shade originates in nature. With no mechanical help or instruction, Mother Nature creates perfect symmetrical designs, as well as wild, random shapes.”
Janice adds, “Inspiration is everywhere: outdoors, in the sky, in the sea, and through telescopes and microscopes. One human can only touch the surface of all Nature offers, yet to try is to begin to understand a small portion of everything, and understanding leads to love.”
