Janice Sylvia Brock: My Life on Canvas

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.
