August 2021
Meet the Whistler House Museum of Art's August Artist of the Month:
Janice Jones
Janice’s work has been published in the Quilters Newsletter magazine, and has won many awards in fine art exhibitions and textile art shows, including “Best in Show”.
Her quilting roots go back to her great aunt who was a Mill Girl during the early 1900’s at the Bates Textile Mill in Lewiston, Maine. Following family tradition, her journey as a quilter began when she was a child.
Janice’s passion has evolved to creating art quilts, and after several years of extensive studies with prominent teachers in this field, she decided to augment her training by becoming a privately tutored art student, and studied the work of the Masters.
She feels that working with textiles allows her to push boundaries and create a story that conveys a sense of tactile warmth and character to her work. Her intention is to draw the viewer in and invite them to touch and feel the energy of her quilts. She endeavors to add texture, depth, and movement to her work. She likes to use color to create drama, and dimension, and often applies fibers and embellishments or hand painted elements for added interest.
Janice lives in Methuen, MA with her husband, David, who is also an artist. Together they give lectures, trunk shows, and workshops to Art Groups and Quilt Guilds.
