Janie went on a one day painting workshop in Cornwall 12 weeks ago. She came home bought some paint and started painting for the first time. Her everyday observations are inspired by the brightness and jolliness within them. She loves painting in a naive and abstract way to capture simplicity and happiness. As a trained cook she brings the process of cooking to her paintings. A pinch of colour. A dollop of neon and gold leaf to taste.

Jenne studied within the Art and design field at both College and University and has continued it as a hobby since.

Some of his recent works include sketches of his children, a canvas of his father who sadly passed away in 2017 and various wildlife images including a barn owl
