Janice Barnes, Heidi

Janice’s educational path to studying art full time at The Grand Central Atelier has been a scenic journey starting with acquiring her BA in natural sciences followed by academic research in molecular biology. After taking a sharp turn to pursue fine dining and hospitality for several years in New York and Los Angeles, she has returned to school to immerse herself in classical painting, drawing inspiration from nature, color, and ruffled collars. Currently living in the East Village, you can find her working at the GrowNYC Greenmarkets when she’s not at the studio.
