Janice Lightowler is an accomplished multi award winning oil painter with a BA Hons Degree in Art and Design from Ulster University, Northern Ireland, whose practice grew amidst personal and political upheaval. She employs meticulous, naturalistic techniques on a large scale, using a single tiny brush per canvas to achieve radiant luminosity and astonishing detail in her landscapes and portraits. The brush is then attached to the back of the canvas and remains with the piece. Starting with only a few marks on the canvas, Janice pushes the concept of standard composition. All these techniques have been developed to help her manage and control extreme spinal pain and the complexities of each piece consumes her. Her emotionally charged works blend nostalgia, despair, hope, and pain, inviting viewers into a space where beauty and suffering coexist, ultimately uplifting and deeply moving all who encounter them.
