Janice creates mostly one of a kind beads in a style that is easily recognized as
her signature. Her beads, which are made from polymer clay and paint, employ a
crackling technique that adds visual interest and detail to each creation. She
works out of her home studio so she can be at home for her two children (and her
dog, Luca). Having left the corporate accounting world behind when she started
her family, she attended school in the evenings that the Rhode Island School of
Design to major in interior design. It wasn't long before she discovered that she
was more interested in the arts. In 2003 she discovered polymer clay, and she
was immediately smitten with the medium.
From Janice: "As an artist, I aspire to creating from a place of no preconceived
notions and allowing whatever happens to happen. That's when I have the most
fun and the most success."
