MEET JANAE EASTON

Janae Easton is a Tallahassee based artist who
received her MFA from The Art Institute of
Chicago. In addition to wife, homeschooling
mother, adjust art professor and business
owner, Janae is a creative force working in
multiple mediums. From drawing and sewing
to screen printing, painting and collage not to
mention jewelry, her Folk-inspired works fill the
home with handmade whimsy and the delights
of nature.

ABOUT HER WORK

I am inspired by a number of things and probably
what people see is my admiration for Folk
traditions, Romanian, Mexican, Scandinavian,
Turkish, American. I do not favor one, I blend
them all into what I hope is something new and
refreshing. I often do this by changing forms
more abstractly, brightening color, merging lines
and referencing my own take on nature. I am an
artist that looks at what has come before her and
introduces again with new insight.

ABOUT HER PROCESS

Janae creates each of her works by hand from her home studio. She silk screens shirts, cards and fabrics with her original designs; crafts and sews bags, pillows, scarves and more; paints multi-scale works, and the list goes on for this accomplished artist. For Janae, her process is about challenging herself to grow as an artist, to learn new things, and to seek new experiences that push her creative boundaries.
