Janine Schroedter is an incredible artist who works and teaches out of Vancouver, British Columbia. She’s constantly exploring new themes with different mediums; for oil paintings she focuses mostly on landscapes and environments but has started creating themed projects on animal endangerment and science fiction. For etching and intaglio, she creates children’s stories, historical pieces, and eerie environments. Line drawings of animals and elaborate poster-making are some of the silkscreening themes she has explored. The ceramics she creates are functional with some sculptural items like her egg collection. Janine also works in watercolours and gouaches on small to medium scale pieces.
Janine’s art explores a variety of themes, including Vancouver landscapes, wild nature, and children’s stories. She hopes that her art will encourage viewers to appreciate nature more, view things in a different light, or be reminded of the impact we as humans have on the earth.
Janine pursued her passion for the arts by studying at Kwantlen University College for a diploma in Fine Arts focused on Visual Arts. She then furthered her education at the University of Victoria by completing a BFA in Visual Arts and BA in Art History. Janine specialized in printmaking and illustration while at university.
