- MEET JANICE -
A little bit
about
After 16 years in the high-end interiors industry, Janice Berwin pursued her lifelong dream of establishing JB Artistic, where she could merge her background in design with her passion for fine art. Through original paintings, prints, and custom commissions, she creates work for both designers and individual collectors, bringing together creativity, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.
Alongside her studio practice, Janice also developed Cherishable Cardinals, a heartfelt collection of keepsakes inspired by her tradition of making holiday ornaments and her personal experience with loss. While her fine art explores a wide range of styles and subjects, her cardinal keepsakes are designed to bring comfort, connection, and remembrance to those who treasure them.
Today, Janice’s creative journey continues to evolve as she returns to her roots in interior design, serving as a part-time design consultant with a purpose-driven furniture retailer whose mission extends far beyond furnishing homes. Helping clients create beautiful, functional spaces while supporting an organization dedicated to restoring hope has deepened her belief that thoughtful design can enrich lives in more ways than one. Her work in fine art and interior design reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and meaningful impact.
Based in the Saint Louis and Chicago markets, Janice continues to grow her presence as both an artist and designer.
When she’s not painting or working with clients, Janice enjoys exploring new creative techniques, spending time outdoors, and continually seeking inspiration through art and design. No matter the medium, her goal is to create work that brings beauty, joy, and a sense of connection to those who experience it.
Let's get
Janice's primary medium is acrylic paint on canvas. She combines infinite dabs of color across the canvas, building texture and depth, standing near and far to create harmonious compositions with incredible detail. She is also well known for exploring various layering techniques and color combinations with the edges of her palette knife and energetic splotches from her brush.
You may wonder, "What's with all the dots?" Or as she prefers to call them "Paint Pebbles" because they are not entirely symmetrical. She comments, "Sometimes my wrist flitches or I misjudge my depth perception and create a new texture, it's all part of the painting cycle for each piece. These compositions are whimsical. They are detailed. They dance. They sit still. Each creation, a delightful surprise!"
