Janice Opie hails from Ancaster, Ontario, and currently resides in Niagara Falls. Many disciplines have been touched upon, including dying silk for clothing, chain maile, mosaic stone pathways and Thangka painting in a Tibetan monastery. She recently published a fiction novel loosely based on a two year offshore sailing stint. Throughout all phases of creating, acrylics and watercolours have woven a common thread which are the basis of this website. 

She is currently teaching at the Niagara Falls Art Gallery.
