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."
