I’m Janelle, a surrealist painter in Denver, CO.
After graduating with a BFA from Metro State University in 2011, I began exhibiting layered mylar drawings influenced heavily by existentialism, the ephemeral, dreams, and memory. These eventually evolved into collage-style paintings that smashed together figures, landscape, animals, etc., referencing the conglomeration of the human experience. Painted in an expressive realist style, images intersect with a dream-like cadence that pushes us to question our memory, perception of time, and physicality.
