Janice studied Graphic Design at the Université du Québec à Montréal and at the École supérieure des arts décoratifs de Strasbourg (France), and worked as an art director in advertising agencies. Nul poisson où aller, her first book, has won many awards.
Her evocative, poetic and sophisticated style is a mix of retro and modern. Through her soft watercolors, a fine and intricate line work can be seen. A multitude of details, often humorous, bring a rich touch to her compositions. Fashion, history of costumes and fabrics, theatre, travels and crowds are her main sources of inspiration.
