Janice Jill's ceramic journey started in 2019 in a very bustling city in India; New Delhi. She lived there for a whole year and got the chance to throw herself completely into clay and listen to the creative voice in her head. She eventually ended up in a studio built of corrugated iron where the monkeys walked on the roof and many cows and stray dogs found shelter.

India can be found in Janice Jill's work; deep
pronounced and sometimes even bright colors that you see on every street

'I would like to introduce a bit of playfulness and a wink to the Dutch living rooms. It doesn't have to be all that serious.'
While the functionality of her work has been an important factor so far, Janice Jill will release this more in the creations for De Galerie Rotterdam. Her works will make the logical move from a table to the wall. In addition, she feels challenged to bring her typical use of color to life. Where until now she opted for one color per work, she now wants to combine several colors and create a unity. The colorful interiors she envisions when her ideas originated, they remain the same!
