Janie Jaehyun Park, a Canadian visual artist based in Ottawa, was born in South Korea.  She has cultivated a lifelong passion for self-taught art, exploring diverse media and techniques.  Janie holds a BA in French Literature from Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, and a diploma in Illustration from Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada.  Her extensive artistic journey has led her to illustrate several award-winning children’s picture books, and her commercial illustrations have graced various printed media.

Currently, Janie actively participates in numerous artist organizations and has exhibited her artwork in Seoul, Toronto, and Ottawa for many years.  Her paintings are in private collections throughout Korea and Canada.

Janie’s artwork, a blend of stylized representationalism and introspection, reflects her state of mind.  Captivating moments inspire her to immerse herself in their stories, and her creative process begins with emotional reflection. 

At times, Janie’s work features rich and vibrant colours, while in other instances, it features a strong focal point with a more restrained palette.  Regardless of the approach, she strives to create striking compositions that engage the viewer.

Janie finds immense joy in translating her thoughts and emotions into visual form.  For her, creating art is a meditative experience that brings both reflection and fulfillment.
