Highly acclaimed, multidisciplinary, Canadian painter Janice Tanton demonstrates the exceptional gift of effortlessly communicating an extensive variety of reflective narrative and story through art.
Exploring the reconciliation of a wide gamut of multiplicity within her social and personal environments, Tanton's work has garnered a highly lauded reputation for its resonance with viewers. Deeply thoughtful pieces cover a broad variation of theme while remaining firmly grounded in the artist's profound appreciation for cross-cultural relationships.
