Janey Richards was born in Sydney and lived and worked there till moving to Queensland in 1997.
Janey’s artworks are individual journeys of creativity mixed with emotion and colour. Her subject matters are inspired mostly by the vibrant colours of Queensland, the natural world and her love of abstract expressionism. Janey believes an abstract artwork can be something very definite to the artist, and it can be interpreted very differently by the viewer. It can be anything you want it to be!
Janey has always had a great love of art. She comes from an artistic family who have displayed their creative talents either through their hobbies or careers. Janey is predominately self taught, however from a young age she was encouraged to develop her creativity by attending the Workshop Arts Centre in Sydney for several years. Janey studied art throughout her schooling and has enjoyed many tertiary courses in art appreciation, history, design and theory. She continues to enjoy and attend art workshops around the Sunshine Coast.
Janey’s interests are the environment, gardening, culture and the arts. She is also passionate about human rights, social justice, travel, and enjoys good food, good wine and home decorating.
Janey has very much been inspired to develop her art further since moving to the beautiful Noosa Hinterland.
