Janie George

Janie George works across printmaking, painting and ceramics. Her work is an intuitive response to the blending of the natural world with human experience. Plants and their lives, their relationship with pollinators, photosynthesis and mineral growth are woven into the visual narrative. The patterning of insects, shells and rock are considered within the layered and imagined space of an image. Colour is important as it sets an emotional temperature. Selected palettes create a sensory climate for the motifs to settle into. Form is developed from ideas about generative processes and set in a moving space of water and air.

Janie’s prints, paintings and drawings have been shown in Britain and internationally. Janie has an MA in Fine Arts from the Slade School, University College London, and 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 is now a lecturer at Bristol School of Art.
