Janis Miller Hall is a multi-media artist from Ottawa, Ontario . Her works in oils, pastels and mixed media can be described as "contemporary realism" . She enjoys capturing a moment in time so that memories can be shared visually. A love of drawing prompted Janis to pursue the study of art at the University of Toronto where she received a Bachelor of Art Education and at Sheridan College where she received a Creative Arts Diploma. Her work can be found in both public and private collections in Canada, the U.S. and the Caribbean, including the City of Ottawa's collection.

"I am an Ottawa based artist who creates diverse paintings based on my experiences that explore people and their environment using a variety of mediums such as oil, pastel and acrylic. I like to use a mixture of traditional painting genres and mediums with contemporary mediums to bring forth a multidimensional quality. Hopefully my paintings will remind people of themselves, something they thought or somewhere they have been.   In my work I strive to convey a mood or feeling that the viewer can relate to."
