Illustrated throughout with her colourful 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. Commencing with Brock's
carefree childhood, we learn how she then started painting from a
hospital bed aged eleven, how she built her artistic business,
overcame tragic events including the death of her brother, survived
broken marriages and of the healing that began with her first
travels to the Caribbean - where she finally achieved her dream to
have a studio and gallery in Barbados. From the early, detailed
Pre-Raphaelite-inspired pictures, through sun-drenched Caribbean
scenes, to the contemplative oval heads that characterise 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. Janice divides her time
between Barbados and the UK with studios in both and she has a
large international following. This is a celebration of an artist
at the height of her powers.
