Synopsis

Illustrated throughout with her colorful and vibrant paintings, this is the story of English artist Janice Sylvia Brock. It follows the fascinating and at times harrowing journey of a unique talent, who survived childhood illness and despite disability became an internationally successful painter." Janice Sylvia Brock: My Life on Canvas" is the first book to combine her full biography with the largest selection of images yet published. From the early, detailed Pre-Raphaelite-inspired pictures, through sun-drenched Caribbean scenes, to the contemplative oval heads that characterize her current paintings, Brock shows the ability to soak up a huge variety of influences - whether they be Impressionism, Expressionism or even elements of Surrealism - then turn them around and give her own interpretation.
