Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Janine Cooper Ayres and
I have been painting for over twenty years. I started with a 'space art' series and have gone on to paint abstracts,
landscapes and pet portraits. Through the years I've sold over 150 paintings. I
work mainly with oil & acrylic on canvas.
Sometimes people ask me why I am inspired to paint - especially my
'space art' series. All I can say is I've always been intrigued with the possibility (and the probability) of life
on other planets. And, I've wondered, what are their lives like? What do they and look like? Do they
have families and relationships like us? These thoughts have inspired many a painting. The process of painting
is always fun, but it is also my therapy. Life on planet Earth can be a little crazy at times and when I sit down
with paintbrush in hand it puts me in another zone!
I have been lucky enough to have some of my art featured on a few TV shows ("Friends",
"NCIS", "Six Ft. Under", "Gary Unmarried" and "According to Jim"). If you are interested in seeing more of my art,
please e-mail me to request a catalog.
