Janis Jo Stevens has been painting for over thirty-five years professionally. She is an artist for all seasons. Many knew her as their favorite art teacher and she has a Master of Science in Art Education from Florida International University. But Ms. Stevens is best known for her portrait paintings that capture the personality as well as an excellent likeness. She can create a portrait of you, your family, your friends or your beloved pet in pastels or oils from life or from a photo. She is an expert at painting wiggly kids from life while using puppets and stories to entertain them as she paints!

The background can be modified to reflect the unique personality of the subject. Family portraits or several family pets can be painted on one canvas. Janis can work from your photos or even SKYPE if a sitting is not possible. Photos of the work can be sent as the work progresses for your approval.

Lately, Janis has been concentrating on sculpture and loves doing portraiture and figurative work in clay. A good likeness is always guaranteed !

Janis is also available to paint murals, sunsets, still life’s, seascapes and nudes.

Ceramic Sculpture by Janice Stevens:

Each ceramic sculpture is an original. Low fire clay is used to sculpt a one of a kind piece and then fired in an electric kiln. A gas raku kiln is used in a second firing to create unique finishes in the glazing process.
