Janie George

Current work includes ceramics and painting often arranged in combination. Recurring themes explore how we experience the natural world and the passing of time. Influenced by folk art and museum collections; clothes, flowers, rocks and moths can be found set against landscapes or drifting in an imagined space.

Janie’s prints, paintings and drawings have been shown in Britain and internationally. Examples of printmaking are included in journals and publications. Janie is member of the Jamaica St Studios an independent artists’ collective in Bristol’s Stokes Croft area. An associate lecturer in printmaking at Bath Spa University for fourteen years she currently works as a lecturer at Bristol School of Art.

Works

Flowers and Stones

Imagining the earth beneath our feet. The things it contains and the things that come from it.

White Flowers

My obsession with the clothes, history and the way we unconsciously employ nature to project
ideas about ourselves. An ongoing project.

Ceramics Project

An exploration of ideas channeled through clays and hand building techniques.
Cross referencing thoughts about stone, geology, history and the earth.
