Get To Know Me: Janisse

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR ARTISTIC STYLE? 

I like to make it kind of modern, influenced by the people around me. Growing up around the 2000's, I think that has a lot to do with what's in my art and growing up around a lot of social media. Social media is really big right now so I think it influences what I want to draw on a certain day. I think my art is kind of spontaneous, whatever I'm feeling that day is what I want to make.

​

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO CREATE? 

I think it has a lot to do with my family, I have two older sisters and they're both artists so that made me want to be an artist as well but we all have very different styles.

​

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS? DOES IT START WITH A SKETCH, A PHOTO, OR AN IDEA?

It depends on how I feel a certain day, like if I feel very happy one day then I'll make something bright and popping. If I'm feeling very sad, it wont be depressing but I feel that it's an opportunity to show a lot of my inner emotions. I don't talk to a lot of people so my art is my inner emotions and how I feel on the inside.

WHAT DOES TEEN LAB MEAN TO YOU? 

Teen Lab is a very amazing opportunity for me. I came from a Catholic school before I went to High School and I didn't have a lot of friends growing up. I was very shy and didn't have a lot of common interests with the people around me, they really liked sports but I liked to draw but right now I feel like I've found the people I can relate to. It's a really good feeling!
