A Rise of She community workshop

Janet Jackson

A retired teacher turned Certified Creatively Fit Coach, finds herself deeply engrossed in the world of artistry. Immersed in a variety of creative pursuits, Janet endeavors to explore the depths of artistic expression and provide solace from the daily grind.

Her repertoire spans across diverse mediums, with a particular affinity for mixed media art. Through intricate creations such as mandalas and affirmation pieces, Janet crafts immersive experiences where individuals can momentarily escape the burdens of everyday life and find solace in the creative process.

In addition to mixed media works, Janet channels her artistic energy into textile and knitted art. She finds joy in sculpting goddesses, weaving intricate wall hangings, and crafting dream catchers. Not content with conventional canvases, Janet also explores the world of decoupage, transforming ordinary boxes and empty food tins into objects of beauty and wonder.

Nature serves as a boundless wellspring of inspiration for Janet's creative endeavors. Utilising air dry clay, she sculpts intricate pieces that capture the essence of the natural world, infusing her art with a sense of organic beauty and tranquility.

For Janet, art is more than just a hobby—it's a means of self-expression and a gateway to serenity. Through her diverse array of artistic endeavours, she invites others to join her on a journey of exploration and creativity.

"I haven't touched art materials since secondary school - I was so nervous walking in! But Janet created such a welcoming space. Within minutes, I was completely absorbed in creating, and it felt so liberating to just play with colours and textures again."

"The atmosphere was incredibly calm and relaxed. There's something magical about being in a room full of women, all creating together. The conversations flowed as naturally as the paint, and I left feeling so refreshed and inspired." - Shirley, 54

"I'd forgotten how therapeutic art could be. Janet's gentle guidance helped me push past that voice saying 'I'm not artistic enough.' By the end, I didn't want to leave - it was pure joy mixed with such peaceful energy." - Emma

"The mixed media approach was perfect - no pressure to be 'good' at any one thing. Janet encouraged us to experiment, and the conversations with the other women made it feel more like a therapeutic chat than a formal workshop." - Casandra
