Janice Meyer Kirkpatrick
The Artist
Hello and welcome to my website! My bio is below for a more detailed description of my journey thus far.
I have had group and solo exhibitions around the SF Bay Area for over 30 years. My exhibition resumé is available upon request. I express my creativity through many mediums including Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Writing, Poetry and Photography.
My 3D painting series called "BUILDINGS", utilizing found objects and product packaging, is still in process. I have completed over 15 works to date. This series is a social commentary focusing on buildings, mapping and structures from around the world. I am very drawn to these man made structures and believe there are intrinsic elements to them. My study of these structures are very much linked to their utilization of free energy. My discoveries on this topic have fueled my work and continue to do so.
I have also accumulated a stream of screenshots which prove my findings of the hidden and not so hidden aspects of this and I will be working on a book in the near future. I have much to say on the topic of secret societies and how their roles in our society affect everything and everyone.
Everything is indeed linked together and in this we must be vigilant.
BUILDING SERIES
My series "BUILDINGS" emphasizes the temporary nature of our lives, our surroundings and lay question upon society as to where we have come from, where we are going and what we have done to create, destroy or leave legacy for our children. Much of history has been fomented and this idea is crucial to my work. I question what is real, what is not, what about the mud-floods and the missing histories that we were never told about.
