About Us

Janine Taylor loved to draw people from her imagination as a child, although she did not understand how to draw movement.

As a result, the people that she drew were stiff, and had their arms by their sides.

She knew she wasn't the best at drawing, but also recognized that she could draw better than most people.

Nevertheless, she enjoyed this art form, and found it very relaxing.

At the age of 12, an adult made a negative comment about her drawings.

She internalized this, and told herself that she would never draw again.

And, for 18 years, she didn't.

During this time, the urge to draw would come up every now and then, but she would push it back down, and tell herself, "You don't know how to draw."

At the age of 30, she felt inclined to take a drawing class at a junior college.

It was challenging, as her skill level was far below that of her classmates.

She wanted to give up after every class, but felt a push to keep going.

She slowly learned how to capture movement, and continued to draw from her imagination.

A few years ago, she discovered that her drawings are greatly improved when she is looking at an actual photo of a person.

She is not able to draw an exact replica of the photo, but she is able to portray the movement, and features.

In time, she even taught herself to paint.

Drawing and painting are now her passions.

She loves to paint on canvas, paper, wood, and fabric.

Because there is so much excess and waste in the world, she has chosen to paint on used clothing that may not be valued anymore.

it gives her joy to see an old, weathered clothing item be transformed, and become beautiful again.
