Available Acrylic Paintings
Reinventing the landscape, these multi-layered paintings are created from five panels of transparent acrylic glass, painted on both the front and back to form ten luminous layers. The result is a kinetic, three-dimensional artwork that shifts with changing light and perspective, merging classical techniques with a contemporary aesthetic. Each piece is framed in a seamless, hand-sanded acrylic frame, allowing natural light to illuminate the layers and cast ever-changing shadows.
Available Oil Paintings
Inspired by time spent exploring the American West, these oil paintings celebrate the quiet presence and enduring beauty of trees. Meticulously crafted on canvas and linen, each work merges classical realism with contemporary expression. Built through multiple layers of glaze and paint, the surfaces reveal a rich sense of depth and luminosity. Ranging from subtle tonal harmonies to vibrant Fauvist color, the paintings reflect influences of Tonalism, Abstract Expressionism, and Fauvism while expressing a deep reverence for the natural world.
Available Abstract Paintings
Rooted in experimentation and discovery, these mixed-media abstract paintings explore gesture, color, and texture through layered, intuitive processes. Using spray paint, acrylic, markers, pencil, acrylic glass, extended-handle brushes, stencils, and found objects, the works embrace chance, accident, and happenstance as active forces in their creation. Through a balance of spontaneity and control, moments of chaos are transformed into unified compositions that reveal the beauty of expressionism in art.
Available Abstract Acrylic Paintings
Composed of four transparent acrylic panels painted on both sides, these works explore transparency, layering, and light. In select pieces, stencils and paint introduce moments of texture and gesture, while handcrafted papers are incorporated into the back layer in some works. Through the interplay of surface, shadow, and illumination, the compositions become immersive environments that shift with the viewer’s movement.
Available Acrylic Etching and Paintings
Derived from photographs taken during the artist’s travels—most often of trees and landscapes that have also been explored through painting—these one-inch-thick laser engravings transform personal imagery into sculptural light works. Suspended before painted aluminum backgrounds, they blur the boundaries between image, object, and illumination. When activated by light, the engraved forms project onto both surface and wall, extending the work beyond its physical edge. Through shifting shadow, reflection, and depth, each piece becomes a living, three-dimensional experience.
Available Mobiles
These mobiles are carefully crafted kinetic works that explore graceful movement, form, and light. As they shift within space, they transform their surroundings into living compositions—quiet, contemplative environments that invite reflection and meditation.
Available "Ain't No Wallflower"
Constructed from six to seven layers of colored acrylic glass, the Ain’t No Wallflower series marks a new direction in Janell James's practice, seamlessly blending painting and sculpture. Combining hand-painted and digitally designed elements, each work is meticulously layered to create luminous, three-dimensional compositions that transform with changing light and perspective. Inspired by floral forms and nostalgic memories of childhood pinwheels, these kinetic wall pieces celebrate the joy, delicacy, and resilience found in nature.
Available Limited Edition Prints
Each limited-edition print offers a contemplative glimpse into the natural world, distilling the artist’s vision of landscape into serene, evocative imagery.
