Artist, Janice King

Rebirth. Rejoice. Create… is her motto and after six decades, Janice King has finally arrived at the very point she started from! 

 

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, as a child she experienced art as a natural expression of herself. She drew, colored, drafted stories and embraced all forms of creativity. But family and friends steered her into the “more realistic” direction of corporate America, and she reluctantly followed. Even during those bleak years, she was not able to beat back the artist within and expressed herself through color, dress, and décor. 

 

At the ripe age of sixty, Janice finally freed her artistic self. It took a life changing situation for her “aha” moment to explosively shine forth and she triumphantly emerged as a self-taught visual artist. At this moment, Janice King Art: Rebirth. Rejoice. Create… was born.

 

Janice paints using bold acrylic color on canvas, creating vibrant images of Black women, scenic views, still life as well as abstract designs. She has exhibited her art in NYC and Delaware, her new home state. Janice has created art prints, home décor, and lifestyle products from her art. Through popular demand, Janice also creates wearable art from her original works and has shown them on catwalks in NYC and Delaware. Most notably her wearable art was recently featured at the Billie Holiday Theatre and The Kings County Supreme Court’s Annual Fashion Show in NYC, and Chris White Gallery in Delaware. Janice has partnered with Morgan’s of Delaware Boutique which now carries Janice King Art-wearable art.
