About the Artist

Janice seeks to drape the body with the same beauty and grace of the traditional Indian silks she love. For her, they carry a story and as she works with each piece she imagines the woman who wore it and the woman who will wear it in its new form; where it will take her and how she will feel. Her pieces are made by my hand, using traditional felt-making methods. Beginning with luxuriously fine merino wool fibers, both the material and the item are made at once in a sculptural process involving just soap and water. She calms the bold prints with silks she hand-dyes in her studio. She sculpts garments - building rather than sewing - and she strives to create finely finished pieces.
