Janice Roberts is a Canadian-born artist. She's had
a passion for art for over 35 years, which took off
in her early 20s when she started a hand-painted
clothing business and expanded into creating faux
finishings in homes throughout the GTA. Over the
last few years, she has rediscovered her style for
creating vibrant and colourful floral paintings.
MINDFULNESS SHERRYE
By Janice Roberts
Artist Statement
Flowers have been known to have a positive effect on the brain. They elevate
moods, reduce stress and even help people heal faster through their colour
and symbolism. Janice's inspiration for this piece comes from a friend
who had a serious brain injury due to a car accident. Her friend has made
significant improvements over the past 10 years through her involvement
with mindfulness and nature. Janice has also witnessed several relatives and
close friends become afflicted by brain disorders, spurring her desire to get
involved in The Yogen Früz Brain Project.
Dedicated to Jack Gelfond, Sherrye Mosoff and the late Robert Cohen.
