Artist Biography
Janice Ecinja McCaskill was born and raised in sunny Florida where the skies are bluer, trees are greener and the beach waters are like emerald stones.
Since Florida is most closest to the equator, Ecinja attribute the vibrant colors in her work to the environment which she grew up in.
She favors acrylic paint because of its versatility and ability to be transparent or opaque. Ecinja manipulates the paints within the color wheel. Using acrylic paint, vivid characters, and powerfully bold colors, she encourages the viewer to participate in her colorful stories.
My colorful paintings are both reflective of my environment, culture, family and ancestral storytelling. My colorful stories, cultural background, and life experiences have greatly influenced her work. Using paint, vivid characters with powerful colors, I encourages the viewer to dream and create their own stories from the paintings.. As an alternative to the general title of artist, I prefers the term “colourist”, which reflects her mystical command of the color spectrum in my work. My paintings reveal the “colorful” lives of each character in every stroke of paint, allowing the viewer to breathe life into the painting from their imagination and life experiences.
