 JOSIANE CHILDERS - ARTIST INFORMATION

JOSIANE CHILDERS  was bon in the smoky

mountains of North Carolina but grew up in
upstate New York. She was very driven to
draw, paint and excel in learning from a
young age but not until after receiving
excellent training and encouragement from

her high school art instructor, Nicholas
T0odisco. She began to take the study of
art seriously and continued her education

in fine art with inspirational teachers
from Onondaga Community College in
Syracuse, NY and completed her BFA at Purchase College in Westchester, County, NY.  This also included a semester abroad in Amsterdam at the Academie voor Beeldende Vorming. Amsterdam was of

course a magnificent setting to be thrown into in a young artist's life and has an influential presence that is still with her today. She now resides in Phoenix, AZ with her artist husband, Justin West, and their three German Shepherds.

Josiane works in acrylics on canvas as well as collaborating with her husband,

Justin West, on various steel and plexiglas sculptures that he builds. Their
contemporary creations are truly original and extremely creative in color

composition, design, style and texture. From her most abstract canvas
paintings to their collaborative painted wall sculptures, the spacious sky and
unique landscape of the desert has an enlightening impact. 

JOSIANE CHILDERS - ABOUT HER WORK:

Josiane states, "Every piece that I paint is an emotional journey through color.

I am continuously inspired by the extraordinary world around me as well as the
exciting possibilities of infinite color relationships. Every single color is beautiful
and has a place. I love how the colors ask for each other and vibrate in unison
in creations of a new color world. Or one crooked line asks for another crooked
line in the continuing quest for balance. My painting style always involves a search for perfection and balance in chaos. I begin most paintings with random choices and movements and then solve the puzzle as I go. I am always trying
to reach a mathematical perfection with color and form. There is always
motivation to pant and I am in love with the paint itself."
