Welcome to my online shop! My name is Janis Holland. I have been using art as my diary for as long as I can remember but it wasn’t until my father passed away in 2012 that art became my voice as well. I have been painting everything from wood toy chests to knife blocks to huge Marimekko flowers on my wall since I was a child. It’s just something that I have always loved to do. I feel so fortunate being able to do what I love every day although time in my studio has been precious over the last couple of years as my mother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. So now I feel as I am painting to make sure her voice is heard as well.

I am currently painting with Golden acrylics on stretched canvas. All of my current work is what I call geometric retro abstract art and all are one of a kind originals. I start by drawing out my design then taping off the pattern and then painting over it all by hand so it still has a bit of imperfection to it. I try to make all of my art affordable for I feel that original art shouldn’t break your bank. Thank you for taking the time to look at my art work!
