About the artist
Janine Mitchell
Janine became interested in writing, tools and letterforms at a very early age, coinciding with her art studies and practice in botanical watercolour and pastels. Her training in traditional calligraphy
began in 1994 and she has extensive education with both local and international lettering professionals across all forms of lettering and associated arts. Her long history of learning crosses the boundaries of formal, contemporary and abstract letterforms. She has traveled
to Europe to study and also worked professionally, running a studio, gallery and education centre. Janine is known for her skills in lettering and has been a key contributor to heightening calligraphy skills in Australia.
Over the duration of her career Janine has won many awards and was also the first Australian to be chosen to exhibit in a major exhibition in St Petersburg. She is known internationally and her works remain on permanent exhibition in Moscow Museum.
