« I often paint from my imagination, creating spaces that only exist in my mind. Like traces from a crime scene, the viewer can piece together clues and create their own narrative. »
Australian artist Janice Gobey's work alternates between being beautiful and disturbing. A former student of psychology and sociology, her work focuses on social issues and, ultimately, creating a better world. Her art combines realistic elements with abstract passages, incorporating meaningful symbols such as fur, which represents healing. Her life-long love of animals can be seen through her exquisitely rendered artworks. She experiments with a mix of mediums, including oil paint, watercolors and crayons.
