Exhibiting Artist

Janice Maves has been a working artist for over 30 years. New to the world of 2-D art, she has spent her adult life making art as a quilt designer and maker, and as a gallery owner promoting American Art and Craft. In 2018 she sold her Gallery at Red Gate Farm and retired (or so she thought) from the art world. After writing a novel and flipping a house in Maine Janice settled in the small town of Scotland Neck in Eastern North Carolina where she makes cut paper collages, paints and teaches. Paper collage is the process of using small pieces of cut or torn paper as “brushstrokes” to create an image. Photo montage uses photographs, both original and found, to create a unique compiled image. I use both of these techniques, and pieces from my own acrylic paintings to create my art.
