Where I Came From
My name is Janice James Eubank and I was born in Birmingham, AL. Even though I am a descendant of one of The Pilgrims and one of my Great Grandfathers was a Fife for George Washington, I come from a long line of Southerners. No plantations, no tobacco farms, just good people with a good sense of humor -- and some with more notoriety than others. There are many talented people in my family and frankly, I never expected to really be able to create art, but after giving it a try with great instructors, and the faith of a great husband, I've decided to stick with it for a while. I love bright colors, dogs, cooking and fashion so they are all sorta combined into my artwork.
What I'm About
In the Spring of March 2013, on impulse, I purchased a Groupon via Amazon's Living Social. I had never painted a day in my life and even though my Mother had painted, I had wanted to put it off for a few years before I attempted. I was fortunate to have found an instructor that encouraged individual style in her art class. My first Art Show was in May of that year and in April of 2014, I found myself selected for my first art show booth at Art on R Mountain. Since then I have studied with some very talented local instructors, as well as on-line across the nation whether Painting, Fused Glass or Pottery. I enjoy painting with the bright colors of life in all mediums and most recently enjoy mixing the bright colors of glass, resin and metals as they react to light.
