A painter of sunny europe....
With a love of color and light and a bold flair, Janice Russell Beck brings the essence of time and place to her paintings. She combines realism and impressionism to portray her joy in the beauty that surrounds her.
After earning her BS and MS degrees at Jacksonville University she taught public school for 14 years at both high school and college levels. Janice is a full time professionl artist who has, for the past nineteen summers conducted workshops in the United States and Europe.
In 2001 Janice had the honor of being selected as a "Southern Notable" for her contributions to life in the south. And in 2006 she was selected as one of the top ten out of over 3000 participants in the "Next Great American Artist" contest.
Janice has been selected as the artist of choice for the "Atlanta Dogwood Festival" poster and has created posters for the city of Marietta. Janice has exhibited her work in both solo and group shows where she has won numerous awards and her paintings are included in many corporate and private collection.
Each summer Janice invites a select group of friends and fellow artists to enjoy the wonders of and paint some of the most beautiful parts of the world. Magnificent places, wonderful food, and a group of people who appreciate art, history and beauty make this experience a memory of a lifetime.
